RESPONSIBLE OFFICIAL'S AMENDMENTS TO CFIECKLIST ITEMS The applicant's environmental checklist is incorporated by reference. The following discussion is intended to address potential environmental impacts not addressed by the SEPA and/or NEPA environmental checklist. PROPOSED PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant proposes the construction of a 27,000-square-foot multi-purpose maritime cultural and educational facility in Port Townsend's National Landmark Historic District. The subject property is located at the north east end of Water Street @lock 4 of the Original Townsite of Port Townsend). The facility will consist of two buildings: the Maritime Heritage and Resource Center (16,816 square feet) and the Maritime Education Building (L0,679 square feet). They will offer a variety of maritime heritage and visitor services, including: maritime educationalprograms, exhihit and display spaces, small boat building and restoration demonstration ateas, meeting rooms, catering facilities, a marine chandlery and coffee. shop, a boat livery, a maritime resource library, distance learning technologies, and office space for member organizations. The Center has been designed around a large outdoor commons area (approximately 20,000 square feeQ that will serve as a staging area for maritime demonstrations and cultural events, as well as enhancing public access to the shoreline. A. EARTH The environmental checklist description concerning earth is adequate. Grading will be required onsite for construction purposes, but the site has been previously graded and prepared due to the need for remediation of hazardous materials. The impervious surfaces onsite not expected to exceed the current conditions onsite. To mitigate potential adverse impacts to earth, the applicant is required by Port Townsend Municipal Code (PTMC) to prepare and follow a detailed clearing and grading plan and an approved temporary erosion and sedimentation control (TESC) plan that utilizes Best Management Practices and cornplies with the City's Engineering Design Standards. The preliminary TESC plan submitted with the SEPA checklist is adequate for issuance of this MDNS; however, a hnal TESC plan must be submitted for review and approval by the Public Works Department prior to any clearing and/or grading. The TESC plan can be comprehensive (covering all phases of the project) or submitted prior to earth moving activity for each phase. The applicant must adhere to the approved TESC plan during construction. B. AIR During construction" emissions from heavy equipment and vehicles will be created. When the project is completed, automotive traffrc to and from the facility will generate exhaust emissions. Practices to control emissions from gasoline and diesel fuel vapors Northwest Maritime Cen&r Threshold Determination LUP 05-067 Page 3 January 18,2006 will comply with state, federal, and industry standards. ,A.s no residences are proposed on-site, long-ten4 risks to health from airborne particulates would be similar to other commercial properties within the City. Given the scope of the project" long=term air emission impacts are not considered significant. Should dust become a problem during constructiorl water shall be applied as a suppressant C. WATER Surface Water The site is adjacent to Port Townsend Bay, with approximately 220 feet of shoreline. All work will be done above the ordinary high water madq but within 200 feet of the shoreline. The project will be reviewed under the Shoreline Management Act, with additional measures recommended to mitigate any adverse effects on the shoreline environment. The site is also withinthe 100-year floodplain. Development shall reflect the issues related to floodplain issues. Water Runoff During construction, onsite stormwater will be diverted away from the excavation areas by appropriate use of berms and swales into vegetated areas. Consistent with the City's engineering design standards manual and the DOEs stormwater manual, stormwater improvements will be constructed to collect, store and attenuate stormwater discharges into marine waters. D. PLANTS AND ANIMALS The site is curently vacant, with no significant vegetation. Upon completion, landscaping will use native plant species consistent with a final design approved by the city. The marine waters abutting the affected site contain eelgrass beds that are known to provide significant habitat for indigenous bird feeding and foragrng and critical migration and feeding habitat for Puget Sound Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) Hood Canal Summer-run Chum Salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) (sources: Jef,ferson County Significant Natural Areas Report prepared by the Admiralty Chapter of the National Audubon Society; City of Port Townsend). Other species known around the site include bald eagles and peregrine falcons. No work is expected water ward of the ordinary high water mark and thus no disturbance is expected foi marine plants or animals. No significant habitat cunently exists onsite for bird ipecies, thus no significant effects are expected. E. NOISE On-site construction noise from the project is expected. The operation of construction eqgipment will be limited between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday through friaay, though on occasion, site work may occur on Saturday, or the work schedule may begin at 7:00 a.m., or extend to as late as 7:00 p.m. to accomplish specific tasks, depending upon weather conditions and progress of work. After construction, noise Northwest Maritime Center Threshold Determination LI.JP 05-067 Page 4 January 18,2006 generated by occupation and use of the structures is not deemed significant enough to warrant additional mitigation. F. LAND AND SHORELINE USE The Comprehensive Larid Use Designation and the Zoning Code describe the site as C- III, Historic Commercial. The shoreline designation is "{.Jrban" environment. It is currently included within the "Maritime Heritage Corridor" subdistrict of the "Point Hudson District" of the city's Shoreline Master Plan. City maps of Environmentally Sensitive Areas indicate that the project site encompasses the following ESAs: Seismic Hazards; Flood Hazards; Critical Aquifer Recharge Areas; Wetlands; and Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas. Development shall be in conformance with development performance standards applicable to such designations. Sunounding uses include a ferrl, dock, various commercial uses and condominiums. This use is proposed to be occupied during regular business hours, with minimal effect on surrounding properties and will include public open space. All structures onsite will be demolished before construction. The proposed land use is compatible with the designations and surrounding uses, and the description of land and shoreline use is adequate. G. AESTHE-TICS Since the site is located within an area which requires design review, the proposal shall maintain compliance with PTMC Chapters 17.30 and 17.80 regarding Urban Waterfront Design Guidelines and Historic District Design Review. The applicant and city staff have reviewed the proposed project and the applicant has incorporated staffcomments into the design. The C-III zone allows buildings up to 40 feet in height. The applicant indicates the maximum height of the buildings to be 40 feet. Partial blockage of views from adjacent properties may occur as a result of the development, but the height limit will be maintained H. LIGHT AND GLARE Exterior lighting will be provided around the buildings to illuminate doorways and pedestrian walkways. To mitigate potential lighting impacts to adjacent properties, illumination intensity shall be kept to a minimum, and all lighting fixtures shall be shielded, and pointed downward. A lighting plan, including any parking lot light poles, must be submitted by the applicant and approved by the crty staff prior to issuance of a building permit. I. TRANSPORTATION Frontage. lntersection and Roadway knprovement The project site is bounded on the north by Water Street, the eastby Jackson Street, and the west by Monroe Street. It should be noted that vacated portions of Water and Jackson Streets (vacated under Ordinance I148 of the City of Port Townsend) have attached to Lots 1 and2 and 4 of Block 4 by operation of law.'The applicant has provided the City Northwest Maritime Center Threshold Determination LUP 05-067 Page 5 January 18,2006 withapreliminary alignment and parking scheme for the project's Water Street frontage. A final street and parking plan will be required concurrent with the submittal of a Street and Utility Development Permit application. All bordering streets will require improvements as determined by PTMC and review by the Engineerirg Department. Transit The measures used to incorporate transit into the project are deemed adequate. Jefiferson Transitprovides service to the Commercial Historic Dishict of PortTownsend, though the site itself is not presently served. The nearest trarxit stop is located at the intersection of Quincy and Water Steets, approximately 500' distant from the site. The completed project will incorporate provision for transit, and seek to capitalize on the currently underusedHaines Street Park-and-Ride facility. That facility provides parking for278 vehicles and ten boat trailer and recreational vehicle spaces. The NWMC intends to employ TDM strategies that incorporate use of the park-and-ride facility. Additionally, the NWMC intends to work closely wittr the City of Port Townsend to coordinate for special events (e.g., the Wooden Boat Festival), and to coordinate with both the City and Port to obtain a congressional appropriation for parking, streetscape and circulation improvernents within the Cornmercial Historic District (CHD). Parkine The proposed site plan shows three spaces onsite, with two spaces dedicated to handicap parking. According to PTMC, onsite parking inthe Cornmercial Historic District is discouraged due to the scarcity of land inthe zone and need for effrcient and appropriate use around historic structures and public open space. The use of local oflstreet parking and drop-offpoints will be used as part of a travel dernand management scheme proposed by the applicant. City staff will review the TDM strategies to determine the appropriateness for the site and the proposed uses. To mitigate parking impacts inthe Commercial t{istoric District, the applicants will be required to enter into a no protest agreement with the City concerning the formation of a Parking and Business Improvement District (PBID) for the purpose of funding municipal parking facilities pursuant to RCW 35.87A. J. PUBLIC SERVICES Public services will be reviewed as part the review and approval of the Street & Utility Development Permit. All construction must comply with the Uniform Fire Code. K" UTILITIES The buildings will incorporate "green" building strategies to reduce the need for public utilities. Water, fire protection, and sewer service will be adequately addressed through the Street and Utility Development permit process in compliance with the Crty's Engineering Design Standards. Specific utility improvements have been identified and reviewed with the applicant. The applicant will incorporate the identified improvements in the revised plans to be submitted concurrent with the Street and Utility Development Permits.

PROPOSAL AND PROPERTY DESCRIPTION PROPOSED PROJECT DESCRfPTION (include all factors that will give an accurate understanding of its scope and purpose):. The Northwest Maritime Center (NWMC) proposes to construct a 27,000-square-foot multi- purpose maritime cultural and educational facility in the heart of Port Townsend's National Landmark Historic District. The subject property is located at the esst end of lil'ater Street @lock 4 of the Original Townsite of Port Townsend). SEPACHECTTTST NWMC DEVELOPMENT 1 APPLICATION EXHIBIT I!D Facility eonstruction is scheduled to begin in the spring of 20A6 with the doors opening in September 2007. Two buildings are proposed: the Mqritime Heritage and Resource Center (16,816 squarefeet) and the Maritime Edacation BuildW (0,679 square feet). They witl ofer a variety of water-oriented uses, including: maritime educational programs, maritime heritage exhibit and display spaces, small boat building and restoration demonstration erees, maritime educational meeting rooms, cateringfacilities, a marine chandlery and cofee shop, q boat livery, a maritimeresource library, distance learning technologies, and ofice spacefor maritime-related mernber organimtions. The Center has been designed around a large outdoor commons area (approximately 20,000 squarefeet) that will serve as a staging areafor maritime demonstrstions and cultural events, qs well as enhancing public access to the shoreline. Lots l, 3, 5 and 7 of the project site has been dedicated to the city in the form of a shoreline public access eesement. On May 22, 2004, the Center's deep-drafi dockwas offcially opened to the public. This $1.5 million dollar element of the overall project provides easy access to the water andwill cilitate a variety of on-the-water activities, and docking opportunities for visiting historic vessels. Priority use of the Maritime Center will be given to the maritime- related educational and cultural activities sponsored by the nonprofit members of the Alliancefor Northwest Maritime Education. The estimated capital construction costfor the total project is $7 million, with a total project cost of $11.5 million, which includes property acquisition, site cleanup, dock andfociliQt construction, and project administration. Schematic design and design development (see architectural plans, attached to this checklist) hos been campleted for thefacility. We are currently revising the design development drawings to incorporate additional -green design" elements into thefacility. Environmental stauardship is a core goal and mission of the Northwest Maritime Center - as is awakening a sense of wonder, connection to and understanding of the Puget Sound and Northwest history- As such, the buildings have been designed to minirnize their impact on the environment and tofoster a sense of connection to the character, context, and climate of the Northwest. Many features have been designed into the buildings to lower operating costs; reduce energl use and water use; improve indoor environmental quality, and make more efficient use of materials and resources The buildings make use bf the natural cycles of sun and wind on the site to passively heat and cool the building when possible.. Natural ventilation through operable windows and high monitor windows will provide fresh air and natural cooling in most spaces- Abundant and well-placed windows allow the building to captare heatfrom the sun during the colder seasons. When additional heating or cooling is needed, the Puget Sound itselfwill play a vital role. The HVAC system utilizes an innovative water source heat exchanger installed in the Puget Sound under the existing pier. The near constant temperature of the Puget Sound will provide a dependable source of heating and cooling for the building- In addition, cqreful attention has been given to window placement and the design of the overhangs and monitor windows to mareimize the opportunitiesfor daylighting the spaces, thus reducing the demand on electric lighting. The windows are also designed to give vkitors inside the building views to the outdoors and the surrounding Puget Sound - providing a constant reminder of location and place. Through these design strategies and technologies, the building's energy use has been greatly reduced compared to a conventional building of this type- In addition, no fossil fuels will be burned on site- The electricity needed to operste the building will come from a combination of on-site renewable energy sources and Puget Sound Energt that supplies energt produced largely by hydroelectric plants. The buildings also create ties to the history and unique resources of the Northwest by using materials that are native to the area and in some cases to the site itself. Stringers salvagedfrom the original pier on the site are being reused in the plaza. Timbers from the nearby train trestle are being recycled and reused in the main deck. Other local, reqtcled, and low toxic materiqls are being used throughout the building. NWMC DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION2 SEPACHECKLIST Direct stewardship of the site has already begttnwith underwater eelgrass restoration and the rebuilding of the dock in a way that minimizes the impact on the aquatic habitat by touching lightly and allowing sunlight to penetrate down through the decking. This allows the restored eelgrass bed - home and migratory path to important fish resources including herring, Dungeness crab, and salmon - toflourish. This respect and carefor the Puget Sound carries into the building through the planting of native vegetation and the use ofwater savingfixtures that conserve precious water resources. True to the mission of education and stewardship, the Center will incorporate educational programming, displays, and a building managernent sJstem with public displays that will tell residents iznd visitors about the sustain*ble designfeatures, attributes, and performance of thebuildings. The Center is also now utilizing the LEED Green Building Rating System to evaluate the already state-of-the-art green design against national requirements and stondards. The LEED Rqting System will provide a tool to assist the Center in docum.enting its sustainable achievements and telling the story of the green design of the buildings- The proposal is a project action under SEPA, Chapter 4j.2lC RCW. The NI{MC recognizes that any additional future project actions that require issuance of a city license or permit and which are not categorically exempt under Chaptey 197-l l-800 WAC will require SEPA review and threshold determination.

Check the item that describes the site: flart X rolling hilly steep slopes 2. mountainous - other: Forfurther information, refer to the topographic survey of the site prepared by American Land Science, attached to this checklist- This map k included as page 2 within the packet of design development dranings that are attached to this checklit and incorporaiei heretn by this reference. See also, pages IV4 and IV-S of the Comprehensive Plan DEIS (1995). The Nll/MC aclorcwledges that any future project applications that are not categorically exempt pursuqnt to Chapter 197-l l-800 WAC, and which require issuqnce of a City license or permit witl be subject to review under the City's SEPA Implementing Ordinance (Chapter 19.04 PTMC) and the Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESA) Ordinance (Chapter /,9.05 PIMC). Such review may result in the imposition of mitigation measures necessery to avoid probable signficant adverse environmental impacts. What is the steepest slope on the site? Identify the approximate percent of the slope: 0-15%. Virtually the entire site is flat; however, s modbst slope does occur along the bank defining the transition between beach and adjacent upland areas- In general, the terrain ofthe site is agreeable. 3. What general types of soils are found on the site (sand, gravel, peat, muck)? If you know the classification of agricultural soils, specify them and note any prime fafmland: The U.S. Department of Agricakure Soil Conservation Service Soil Survey ofJeferson County Area, WA, indicates that the soils within afected area consist principally of Cut and Fill Land (CU) and Coastal Beaches (CO). Prior studies describe the soil as a I to 5 foot thickfill layer of silty, gravelly sand with occasional brick or wood fragments (Hart Crowser, 2000). Underlying thefill layer is gravelly, coarse beach sandwith occasional SEPACTIECKLIST NWMC DEVELOPMENT 4 APPLICATION 7 silty layers- Depth to the water table ranges from 3 to I I feet below ground sudace depending on location and tidal conditions. , 4.Aie there surface indications or a history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so, describe them: Cut and Fill Land (CO) is stable under ordinary conditions. However, seismic events of moderate to high magnitude could cause liquefaction of saturated subsoils; virtually the entirety of the Port Townsend Commercial Historic District and areas lying south of Kah Tai Lagoon are characterized by Cut and Fill Land. 5.Describe the purpose, Qrpe, and approximate quantities of any filling or grading proposed. Identify the source of the fill: Minimal grading is necessary to prepore the sitefor construction; prior demolition and remediation efforts have lefi a site that closely approximates the anticipated postlonslruction grade. However, the existing layer of pit run gravel and quarry spalls will be removed prior to foundation work It is anticipated that less than 100 cubic yards of soil and gravel will be graded at the site during construction. 6.Could erosion occur as a result ofclearing, construction, or use? Ifso, generally describe.it: The proposed construction and development would not involve any activities on vegetated slopes, although scrub vegetation will be cleared from thig mostly flat site during construction. Erosion and sediment control measures will be employedfor the duration of the proposed actton at the site. All construction activities will occur on portions of the site located landward of the vegetation line and the ordinary high water mark (OHWM). Atrout what percent of the site would tle covered with impervious surfaces after construction of the project (that is, asphalt or buildings)? The proposed constructian and development activities at the site will not create any additional impervious sudaces at the site. Nearly the entirety of the uptand areas of the site are currently graveled, and therefore, impervious. Please note that consistent with state tau (i.e-, the Growth Management Act of 1990; Chapter 36-70A.1l0 RCW), the City of Port Townsend is an urban growth area (UGA). By definition, "urban growth" refers to " . . . growth that makes intensive use of land for the location of buildings, structures, and impermeable surfaces to such a degree as to be incompatible with the primqry use of such landfor the production offood, other agricultural products, offiber, or the extrdction of mineral resources" (Chapter 36.70A.030(15) RCW). The affected area is currently designated and zoned C-III, Historic Commercial- This zoning occurs in the historic urban core of town, and permits multistory structures with minimal or nb setbaclcs (see Title l7 PTMC. Theoretically, impervious surfaces could reach or exceed 90%o of the building site in the C-lil district. Please note that structural developmentwould afect less than approximately I/3 of the site. 8.I)escribe proposed measures to reduce or control erosion or other impacts to the earth, if any: Temporary erosion and sediment control (TESC) measures will be implemented and maintained in accordance with the stormwater management requirements of the city's engineering design standards manual and best manqgement practices (BMPr). Erosion and sediment control measures such cts strqw bales, berms andfiIterfabric will be used as needed to prevent runofffrom leaving the site during construction activities. Surface water runoff will be diverted awoy from excavation areas by appropriate use of berms and swales. Exposed surfaces will be covered as soon as practicablefollowing construction and development aclivit ies AIR 9. What types of emissions to the air, if any, would result from the proposal during construction and when the project is completed (dust car odors, industrial wood smoke)? Generally describe and give approximate quantities, if known: Dust emissions may occur during in:itial grading activities, but are likely to be limited as gradingwill occur during the wet season (spying of 2006), and the soil does not contain signficantfines- Prior rernoval of contaminated soils and replacement will cleanfiIl material SEPACHECKLIST }NVMCDEVELOPMENT 5 APPLICATTON assures that petroleum-related compounds will not be released during soil wcavation. AII necessary precautions will be taken to ctssure that site grading activities do not generatefugitive dust. 10.Are there any off-site sources of emissions or odors that may affect your proposal? If so, generally describe them: No. The proposal will not be afected by offsite emissions sources. The Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan DEIS (1995) discusses the types of emissions and odors thatwill likely be encountered as Port Towwend grows over the coming decades (see pages IV-12 through IV-15 and X-I I through ){I-14). The Pon Townsend Paper Company's Pulp Mil[ located directly adjacent to the City Iimits, will likely continue to be a significant contributor of pollutants and strong odors which impact the City during periods of atmospheric inversion and when winds are from the southwest. Moreover, because the affected areu lies wilhin the historic urban core of Port Town1end, there k some potential for nuisance odor complaints- As urban densification increases, more people are likely to be exposed to odorsfrom adjacent uses. 11.Describe proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to the air, if 4ny. Emissionsfrom construction equipment will be limited because the heavy construction equipmentwill not be employed for most of the duration of the project. I(ater wiil be used as needed to control potential fugitive dust- WATER Surface Water 12-Is there any surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of the site, including year-round or seasonal streams, salt waters, lakes, ponds, and wetlands? If yes, describe the type and provide names. If appropriate, state what stream or river it flows into: fe$. The subject site is located qt the extreme southeastertt corner of Port Townsend where the marine waters of Admiralty Inlet and Port Townsend Bay join. Approximately 220 linealfeet of th.e subject property abuts Port Townsen:d Bay, though no portion of the proposed construction will bccur below the ordinary high water mark (OH\{M). 13.Will the project require any work over, in, or adjacent to the described waters (within 200 feet)? If yes, describe the work and attach available plans: Ies- The proposed construction activities will occur within the 200-foot shoreline jurisdiction; however, all construction activities will occur within areas Iandward of the ordinary high water mark (i.e., no over or in water work will occur). The NITMC recognizes that the City requires either a shoreline substtantial development permit or a shoreline permit exemption for any nonexempt project-related work occuring within 200 feet of the weters described above. 14.Estimate the amount of fill and dredge material that would be placed or removed from the surface waters or wetlands and indicate the area of the site that would be affected. Identify the source of the fill materiak None. Any future project applicatinn submitted by the NWMC that involves the removal or placement of dredge orfll materials would be subject to review and mitigation under the City's Shoreline Master Program. as well as the SEPA Implementing Ordinance (Chapter 19-04 PTMC) and the Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESA) Ordinance (Chapter 19.05 PTMC). 15.Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or diversions? Give a general description and identify the purpose and approximate quantities, if known: No. No portion of the proposed construction activity will involve surface water withdrawals or diversions. 16. Does the proposal lie within a 100-year flood plain? If so, note the location on the site plan. fes. Because the site is located along a marine shoreline, signftcant portians of the sitefoll within the jurisdtction of the Shoreline ManagementAct (SMA). Substantial areas of this portion of Port Townsend also lie within the 100-yearfloodplain; similarly situated areas include Port properties at Point Hudson and the Lincoln Beach area. It is aclotowledged that structures in these areas are subject to hazards associated with the effects of wind and water loading caused by storm surges or tsunamis- NWMC"lT,fJffiilT I 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. Check the types of vegetation found on th.e site: Deciduous tree: alder maple Does the proposal involve any discharges of waste materials to surface waters? If so, describe the t5rpe of waste and anticipated volume of discharge: No. The proposal will not involve any discharges of waste materials to sudace waters. Ground Water Will ground water be withdrawn or will water be discharged to ground water? Give a general description and identify the purpose and approximate quantities, if known: N9- The proposal will be connected to the Port Townsend municipal water supply. No discharges to, or withdrawals from, groundwater will occur. Describe the waste material that would be discharged into the ground from septic tanks or other sourc€s, if any (domestic sewage; industrial wastes and chemicals containedl agricultural wastes). Describe the general size of the systeml the number of such systemsl the number of houses to be serve4 if applicable, or the number of animals or humans the system(s) is expected to serve: 'Iie proposed project witl be connected to the city's municipal wastewater collection and treatment system, and will not involve any discharges ofwaste material into the ground. Moreover, nothing other than domestic sewqge will enter the citlt's wastewater system. A total of six restrooms and two kitchens will be accommodatedwithin the two structures upon completion (i.e., l2 ntal toilets; and seventeen sinks). Water Run-Off (including storm water) Describe the source of run-off, including storm water. Describe the method of collection and disposal, if any, including any known quantities. Where will this water flow? Will this water flow into other waters? If so, describ e it: Presently, runofffrom the site is no.t controlled, and flows directly into adjoining marine waters- However, the site is relatively small (l-4 acres) and the proposed construction activities will not increase the volume of the runoffrom the site. Surface water will be diverted away from the excavation areas by appropriate use of berms and swales into vegetated areas- Consistent with the City's engineering design standards manual and the DOE's stormwater manual, stormwater improvements will be constructed to collect, store and attenuate stomwater discharges into marine wq.ters. Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally describe how: .l/o. Temporary erosion and sediment control (ESC) measures will be implemented and maintained in accordance with construction permits for the site and best manqgement practices. Erosion and sediment control measures such os straw bales, berms andfilterfabric will be used as needed to prevent runofffrom Ieaving the site during construction. The completed project will not result in wqste materials entering ground or sudace waters. Describe proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and run-off water impacts, if any: Please refer to the responses to questions 20 and 21, infra. Stormwater and sediment control measures will be implemented as needed to assure that sediment is not tracked of sile during construction. Such measures include, but are not limited to, placing crushed rock on site in the truck trqfficflow path and cleaning truck tires with air, brooms or iater 1lt^it"d quortities only) before the trucks leave the site.

Other: Other: What kind and amount of vegetation would be removed or altered? The upland portion of the site containsfan landscaped or natural plants. The site has been significantly ahered by past industrial uses. Construction on the site will not disptace any sigtirtcant plants or grasses. That portion of the upilands lying landward of the OHWM, but waterward of the pro,posed Maritime Commons portion of the site will be landscaped in native plant species, including thefollowing: Wild Rose; Snowberry; Dune Sedge; Rye Grass; and Showy Fleabane. Areas along thewest side of the Maritime Heritage and Resource Building will be landscaped with Pacific Modrone, BIue Oat Grass and Wild Strawberry. The proposal would in no way impact eelgrasses in nearby marine waters. List threatened or endangered species known to be on or near the site: No lcnown threatened or endangered speci.es are laown to be on or near the site, though msrine waters abutting the afeaed site contain eelgrass beds which are known to provide critical migration andfeeding habitatfor Puget Sound Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshq'vvytscha) Hood Canal Summer-run Chum Salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) (source: City of Port Townsend). No construction activities will occur waterward of the mean high water mark or the OHWM; thus, the proposal would in no way impact eelgrasses in nearby marinewaters. I)escribe the proposed landscaping, use of native plants, or other measures to preserve or enhance vegetation on the sitg if any: Please refer to the response to question 24, infra. Ihe completed project will be landscape largely with native plants; existing on-site vegetation will be enhanced. 25. 26.

List any threatened or endangered species to be on or near the site: As noted above, rare aid endangered species sighted on or in the vicinity of the property include the northern bald eagle and the peregrinefalcon. Species listed on the Audubon Society's BIue List (rare or threatened) that arefound along the Port Townsend waterfront include the osprey and the black oystercatcher. No nesting sites for any of the afhrementioned species are known to exist on or near the site. Additionally., Puget Sound Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshowytscha) and Hood Canal Summer-run Chum Salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) use the eelgrass beds located in the adjoining marine waters as critical migration and feeding habitat (source: City of Port Townsend). fs the site part of a migration route? If so, how? The PlanningArea lies on the Pacific Flyway. Consequently, numerous waterfowl use the surrounding marine waters as a migratory rest stop, or as a p erm anent w inter ing area. Describe proposed measures to preserve or enhance wildlife, if any: No specific measilres qre proposed, although the introduction of additional native vegetation to areas betvveen the Maritime Commons and the mean highwater line are likely to provide some limited additional areasfor wildlfe feeding and shelter. In May 2004, the NWMC completed an voluntary eelgrass restordtion plan to enhance marine habitat and marine species. On-going monitoring studies of the restoration project are underway. ENERGY AND NATTJRAL RESOURCES What kinds of energy (electric, natural gas, oil, wood stove, solar) would be used to meet the completed proiect's energy needs? Describe whether it would be used for heating, manufacturing, etc.: Energt needs of the completed project will be obtainedfrom connections to existing electric utilities- Power is provided to the site by Puget Sound Energt- Would the project affect the potential use of solar energy by adjacent properties? If so, generally describe the affech Ihe proposal incorporates passive solar energy use- Moreover, the proposed structural design is unlikely to result in demonstrable solar access issues for adjoining properties- What kinds of energy conservation features are included in the plans of this proposal? List other proposed measures to reduce or control energy impacts, if any: Schematic design and design development (see archilectural plans) drawings incorporate numerous "green design" elements into the facility, as morefully described below. Environmental stewardship is a core goal and mission of the Northwest Maritime Center. As such, the buildings have been designed to minimize their impact on the environment and to foster a sense of connection to the character, context, and climate of the Northwest. Manyfeatures have been designed into the buildings to loweroperating costs; reduce energl use and water use; improve indoor environmental quality, and make more eficient use of materials and resources. The buildings make use of the natural cycles of sun and wind on the site to passively heat and cool the building when possible. Natural ventilation through operable windows and high monitor windows will providefresh air qnd natural cooling in most spaces. Abundant andwell-placedwindows allow the building to cepture heatfrom the sun during the colder seasons. l[rhen additional heating or cooling is needed, the Puget Sound itself will play a vital role. Ihe HVAC system utilizes an innovative wqter source heat exchanger installed in the Puget Sound under the existing pier- The near cotnstant temperature of the Puget Soundwill provide a dependable source of heating and coolingfor the building. I.{WMC DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 9 SEPACIIECKLIST 34. 35. 36. In addition, careful attention has been given to window placement and the design of the overhangs and monitor windows to r.nqximize the opportunities for daylighting the spaces, thus reducing the demand on electric lighting. The windows are also designed to give visitors inside the building vi.ews to the outdoors and the surrou4ding Puget Sound - providing a constant reminder of location and place. Through these design strategies and technologies, the building's energl use hqs been greatly reduced compqred to a conventional building of this type. In addition, nofossilfuels will be burned on site. The electricity needed to operate the buildingwill comefrom u combination of on-site renewable energy sources and Puget SoundEnerstwhicsuppties**no';W;ff;H?Ni{fft;#'"*'' Are there any environmental health hazardq including exposure to toxic chemicals, risk of fire and explosion, spill, or hazardous waste, that could occur as a result of this proposal? ff so, describe the hazards: No. No environmental heqlth hazards are posed by the project. Earlier phases of the overall project involved the clean-up of contaminated soils. Describe special emergency services that might be required: The needforfire or EMS emergency services, while a remote possibility, could beame possible in the event of a construction-related accident. However, adherence.to operating and safety standards and proceduresfor constructionworkwill minimize the risk of an accident. I)escribe proposed measures to reduce or control environmental health hazards, if any: A site- spectf.c safety plan will be preparedfor use by all workers at the site during construction activities. The site will be secured to prevent entry of unauthorized persons- The contractor is required tq comply with the safety requirements of all government agencies, including Occupational Safety and HealthAdministration (OSIU) and Washington State Deparftnent of Labor and Industries Q&I),for construction safety. The Contractor will be responsiblefor site safety at all times during this project. Ihe Contractor must maintain documentation that their on-site activities'meet the health and safety requirements of OSIIA and L&1. In sum, implementation of the site-specific safety plan is likely to reduce any potential environmental health hazards to a level ofnonsignificance. The completed project is not expected to place any unforeseen impacts upon city emergency services not already anticipated within the ctty's 6-year capitalfacilities plan. NOISE What types of noise exist in the area that may affect your project (traffic, equipment, operations)? Typical vehicle andferry trafic generate most of the noise in the vicinity of the proposed project, but would have no affect on the proposed action. \ilhat types and levels ofnoise would be created by or associated with the project on a short-term or a long-term basis (construction, traffic, operation)? Indicate what hours noise would come from this site: Short-term noise will occur from the use of construction equipment durtng the remedial activities will impact properties in the vicinity of the project. However, construction activities would iake place during daylight hours, and no long-term noise impacts are anticipatedfrom the completed project. Describe proposed measures to reduce or control noise impacts, if any: The operation.of construction equipment will be limited between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, though on occasion, site work may occur on Saturday, or the work schedule may begin at 7:00 a.m., or extend to as late as 7:00 p.m. to accomplish specific tasks, depending upon weather conditions and progress of work Because no long-term noise impacts would be created by or associated with the proposal, no permanent mitigation measures are proposed.

The NWMC dock, completed in 2004, provides deep-drafi mooragefor visiling vessels, and access to lhe waterfor a varietlt of on-the-water activities. Immediately adjacent and across Monroe Street to the west of the property lies the Port Townsend Salmon Club and the Pope Marine Park; diagonally across the Monroe/Water Street intersection to the northwest lies the American Legion Hall; adjacent and to the north of Water Street lies the Swan Hotel and Condominiums and the Landfall Restaurant; adjacent and to the east lies the Point Hudson Boqt Basin; and adjacent and to the south lie the marine waters of Port Townsend Bay Has the site been used for agriculture? If so, describe the use: No - the site has never been usedfor agricultural uses. I)escribe any structures on the site: On the west side of the block adjacent to Monroe Street is a large metal building on a concrete pad thatformerly was the home to 'Kayak Port To,wnsend." Structures that formerly occupied the site were demolished in 2002 as part of the site cleqn-up and restoration effort. \ilill any structures be demolished? If so, which structures? Yes- The remaining oldwarehouse building (now being used as a boat livery) built in 1955, will be demolished. The structure is not considered historic (primary, secondary or contributing), though it lies within the National Landmark Historic District. What is the current comprehensive plan or community development plan designation of the site? Identify the plan: Both the Comprehensive Land Use Land Use Designation and the Zoning District applied to the site are C-III, Historic Commercial. If applicatrle, what is the current Shoreline Master Program designation of the site2 The Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program identifies the alfected site as lyingwholly within the "Urban" environment designation. It is cunently proposedfor inclusionwithin the "Maritime Heritage Corridor" subdistrict of the "Point Hudson District" of the city's draft SMP, slatedfor adoption before the end of 200s. Has any part of the site been classified as an "environmentally sensitive" area? If so, specify the part fes. City ESA maps indicate that the affected block encompasses thefollowing ESAs: Seismic Hazards; Flood Hazards; Critical Aquifer Recharge Areas; Wetlands; and Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas^ Approximately how many people would reside or work in the completed project? Approximately l0- 15 FTE will work at the NWMC when completed; these employees will movdfrom their current location at 914 Washington Street and the Cupola House inPoint Hudson, to the location of the nau NWMC. Approximately how many people would the completed project displace? None. Describe proposed measufes to avoid or reduce displacement impacts, if any: No impacts are anticipated, so no measures are proposed. Describe proposed measures to ensure the proposal is compatible with existing and projected land uses and plans, if any: The proposed action to develop the site is consistent with adopted land use plans. thefuture redevelopment of the Northwest Maritime Centerfacility is identifed as a priority project in the City of Port Townsend's Comprehensive Plan (1996) and Urban Wateffront Plan (1990).

AF^sTIIETICS What is the tallest height of any proposed structure(s), not including antennas? What is the principal exterior building material(s) proposed2 The special height overlay district established by the Urban Waterfront PIan and implemented through PTMC 17.28.030 was amended in 2002 to permit stractures up to 40' in height on Block 4 of the Original Townsite. The tallest portian of any proposed structural development on the site k the 40foot tower in the ChandlerMaritime Education Building. Thus, the proposed development willfully comply with the design review process and gaidelines established under Chapters 17.30 and 17.80 PTMC (i.e., Waterfront Design Guidelines Overlay District; Design Review - National Register Historic District). The proposed NWMC incorporates historic design characteristics (e.g., more steeply gabled roofs with clearstories) that are more evocative of the structures that existed on the site through the early part of the 20th century (note: in times past, the sitewas the locationfor a sowmill). What views in the immediate vicinify would be altered or obstructed2 Construction of the proposed NWMC could lead to obstruction of via'vs on properties to the north of the site. The design of the proposed development incorporates through blockview corridors between structures, as well as relatively narrow roof clearstory elements that would extend between 32' and 38'- It is possible that some of the transient guest accommodotions at the Swan Hotel would have views partially obscured byfuture site development, though such development is clearly anticipated by adopted city code. No other potential via,v impacts have been identified. Describe proposed measures to reduce or control aesthetic impacts, if any: Compliancewith PTMC Chapters 17-30 and 17.80 PTMC regarding urban Waterfront Design Guidelines and Historic District Design Reviqu. The NWMC architects and design team have metwith the HPC on numerous occasions throughout the design process to receive input and suggestions from the HPC, in which HPC recommnedations have been incorporqted into the fnal design- As noted above, the proposed development incorporates through block corridors to allow retention ofviews and passage oflight and air- LIGIITAND GLARE What type of light or glare would the proposal produce? What time of the day would it mainly occur? The proposal will not produce significant light or glare. Coutd light or glare from the finished project be a safety hazard or interfere with views?

Ihefuture NWMCwould itself provide a signiJicant new venuefur waterfront recreation and community events. Would the proposed project displace any existing recreational uses? If so, describe the displacement: No. I)escribe the proposed measures to reduce or control impacts on recreation, including recreational opportunities to be provided by the project or proponent, if any: Because the proposal would pose no adverce impacts to recreationalfacilities or opportunities, no measures are proposed. Upon completion, the entire site'will be open to the public, thereby providing enhanced shoreline public access in the historic downtown- HISTORICAL AND CTJLTTJRAL PRESERVATION Are there any places or objects listed on or proposed for national, state, or local preservation registers khown to be on or next to the site? ff so, generally describe them: Ies. The subject site (Block 4 of the Original Townsite of Port Townsend) lies within the boundaries of the Port Townsend National Register Historic District; however, no historic structures are located on the subject site. The boundaries of the National Iandmark Historic District encompass Point Hudson, immediately to the northeast of Block 4. The white clapboard buildings constructed in 1934 were built as part of the depression-era public works projects and were designed to serve as a quarantine areafor the U.S. Customs operation. The development of the NWMC will result in a maritime educational and resource center that presewes and enhances Port Townsend's connections to its seafaring past andfurthers the City's historic preserttation goal. Generally describe any landmarks or evidence of historic, cultural, archaeological, or scientific importance known to be on or next to the site: Please refer to the response to question #64, above, historic resources. To date, no general archaeological study of the City, ol any major portion of it, has been conducted, although lgth century photographs of the City suggest where archaeologically important sites may exist. Wessen and Associates conducted an archaeological study of the subject site in July of 1990. Although no archaeological deposits werefound, the study concluded that, "given the paucity of known archaeological materials in the Point Hudson erea, even a small remnant deposit would have considerable historical and cultural significance." (Yrressen). (Urban Waterfront PIan DEIS, 1990). Currently, two landmarlts in proximity to the site recognize the Indian heritage of Port Townsend: the wooden boat monument at Point Hudson; and the naming of Chetzemoka Park. Describe proposed measures to reduce or control such impacts, if any: No impacts have been identifed- consequently, no mitigation measures are proposed. TRANSPORTATION Identify public streets and highways serving the site and describe the proposed access to the existing street system. Show on the site plan. The affected area is bounded on the north by Water Street, the east by Jaclcson Street, and the west by Monroe Street. It should be noted that vacated portions of llater and Jaclcson Streets (vacated under Ordinance I148 of the City of Port Townsend) have attqched to Lots t qnd 2 and 4 of Block 4 by operation of law.

The nearest transit stop is located at the intersection of Quincy and Water Streets, approximately 500' distantfrom the site. The completed project will incorporate provisions for transit, and seek to capitalize on the currantly underused Hatnes Street Park-and-Ridefacility- ThatfuciliE provides parkingfor 278 vehicles and ten boat trailer and recreational vehicle spaces- The NWMC intends to employ TDM strategies that incorporate use of the park-and-ride_f"ciltty- Additionally, the NWMC intends to work closely with the City of Port Townsend to cooidinatefor special events (e.g., the Wooden Boat Festival. TheNWMC is cunently working to coordinate with both the City and Port to obtain a $I-5 million congressional appropriationfor parking, streetscape and circulation improvements within the Commercial Hktortc District (CHD), encompassing the NILMC site. How many parking spaces would the completed project have? _How many would the project eliminate? Ihe completed project will include 3 parking spaces on the west side of the site, abutting Monroe Street; two of these spacq will be reservedfor handicapped persons. No clearly delinested or reserved parking spctces would be eliminated. The City of Port Townsend recently amended its OffStreet Parking and Loading Code (Chapter 17.72 PIMC) to exempt new development, redevelopment and changes of usewithin the CHDfrom the requirement to provide offstreet parking spaces. These atnendments were undertaken, among other reosons, to encourage iffil development and fficient use of the remaining vacent parcels within the CHD- To the extent that the requirements of the municipal code serve as the principal meens to mitigate the adverse impacts of proposed development, itwould appear that the city has concluded that the provision of additional offstreet parking spaces within the CHD is not a prefewed method of conditioning projects to mitigate parking impacts- Finally, it must be stressed that the site has been designed and aformal easement to provide public access to 50ok of the site has been dedicated to the city; parking on the site is incompatible with free and open public acbess and conJlict with the public access easement; unobstructed public ctccess to the shoreline is a priority objective of the NWMC mission. Will the proposal require any new roads, streets, or improvements to existing roads or streets, not inctuding driveways? If so, geherally describe them, indicating whether they are public or private: Development of the site will require improvements to Jacl<son, Water and Monroe Streets; detailed paving plans have been submitted as part ofthe proposed development application. Will the project use water, rail, or air transportation, or occur in the immediate vicinity of these facilities? If so, generally describe the use: The proposed action would not involve water, rail, or air transportationfacilities. However, the nevt deep draft dockat the NWMC provides berthingfor historic vessels as well as maritime educational uses. How man5i vehicular trips per day would be generated by the completed project? If Larown, indicate when peak volumes would occur: It is anticipated that the completed project will generate approximately 45 employee vehicle trips per day- It should be restated that the completed projectwill incorporate 'provision for transit, and seek to capitalize on the currently underused Haines Street Park-and-Ride facitity. That facility provides parking for 278 vehicles and ten boat trailer and recreational vehicle spaces. The NWMC intends to employ TDM strategies that incorporate use of the park-and-ridefacilityfor visitors. Additionally, the NWMC intends to work closely with the City of Port Townsend to coordinatefor special events (e.g., the Wooden Boat Festivat), and to coordinate with both the City and Port to obtain a congressioial appropriationfor parking, streetscape and circulation improvements within the Cowmerciql Historic Dktrict (CHD). Overall, these strategies will decrease the transportation impacts of the proposal to a level of nonsigniJicance- NWMC DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION SEPA CIIECKIIST t4 73. 74. 75. 76. Describe proposed measures to reduce or control transportation impacts; if any: Please refer to the responses to questions 68 and 72, infra. PTJBLIC SERVICES \Moulil the project result in an increased need for public services (fire protection, police protectioq, health care, schools)? If so, generally describe the results: No. The proposal will not result in an need for public services beyond thqt which is already anticipated within the Qity's adopted Capital Facilities Plan. Describe proposed measures to reduce or control direct impacts on public services, if any: Because no impacts are anticipated, no measures are proposed. Implementation of the'Capital Facilities &Utilities Element of the Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan will reduce or controlfuture impacts to public services to a level ofnonsigniJicance. . As noted elsewhere within this checHist, anyfuture project application submittedby the NWMC that is not categorically exempt pursuant to Chapter 197-l l-800 WAC, and which requires issuance of a City license or permit will be subjectto review under the City's SEPA Implementing Ordinance (Chapter 19.04 PTMC) and the Environmentally Sensitive Areas @SA) Ordinance (Chapter 19.05 PTMC)- ffter reviewing such development applications, the City of Port Townsend may determine that mitigation measures ore necessary to avoid probable signficant adverse environmental impacts, including impacts related to public services- UTILITIES Check which utilities are currently available at the site: water X electricity X naturat gas telephone X septic system sanitary sewer X other: , refuse service X 77.Describe the utilities that are proposed for the project the utility providing the service, and the general construction activities on the site or in the immediate vicinity that might be needed: The proposed project wiA require connection to the ciQt's wastewater collection and treatment system, as well as municipal water sertice. Detailed utility plan drawings have been submitted as part of this development application. Conformance with the City's Engineering Design Standards Manuql is acknowledged ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I acknowledge that all information provided in this checklist and all attached material is true and correct to the best of my knowledge.

Revisions to drawings are on 8-1/2x1'l sheets attached to this letter, and each sheet references the enumerated items in your original review. ln addition, we offer the following responses: Code Analysis Sheet T1.2 lists the 2003 Washington State Energy Code. The 2004 edition was adopted July 1,2005. Please revise. The appropriate edition of the energy code has been revised on sheet T1.2 (reference attached SkPT-O1). There are no other revisions required of the documents to comply with this update. Note that the NREC Envelope Summary was originally calculated and submitted on the 2004 forms. ADA Sheet T1.3, car control Height does not appear to be in compliance with ICC/ANSI A117.1,2003 edition, Section 4O7.4.6.1. Please revise. The car control height was revised on sheet T1.3 to comply with ANSI A117.1 (reference attached SkPT-02). ADA Sheet 1.3, Accessible Water Closet Stall Details does not indicate the minimum vertical grab bar length per ICC/ANSI A117.1,2OO3 edition, Section 504.5.1. Please revise. The vertical grab bar length was added to sheet T1.3 (reference SkPT-02). Second Floor Plan Sheet A1.2 (Ventilation Shafts), Wall Sections Sheet A2.9, No. 1 and Third Floor & Lower Roof Plan A1.3 indicate wall type N4 however no wall type N4 is shown on Assembly Types A7.0. Please clarify. Wall type N4 is similar to wall type N6, the difference being a 4" C-T stud in place of the 6" c-T stud found in wall type N6. N4 was added to wall Assembly Types sheet A7.0 (reference SkPT-03). Boardwalk Plan Sheet AO.2, No. 3 indicates detail 7 on Sheet A7.8; however, there is no detail 7 on that sheet. Please clarify. Reference SkPT-O4 for a revised detail call-out. Accorciing to ICC/ANSI A117.1, 2003 edition, "Open risers shall not be permitted". Sheets A2.4, A4.2 and any other sheet depicting open risers must be revised. The identified sheets A2.4and A4.2 were revised to indicate a continuous steel angle lagged into the underside of each tread in order to close the riser (SkPT-O5, 06, and I I 1 2 3. 4. 5 6. MILLER HULL 07). Additionally, details on sheet A7.6 were revised to indicate this condition and have been included in this submittal (SkPT-O8 through 14). Note that to prevent water from ponding on the treads we have detailed aYz" maximum gap between the steel riser and the step below.7. lndicate compliance with Elo7 Signage of the 2003 lnternational Building Code.

Box 82 Port Townsend, Washington 98368 RE: Allowable Shallow Foundation Bearing Pressure Northwest Maritime Center of Port Townsend Port Townsend, Washington Dear Mr. Robison, At the request of Adin Dunning of Miller Hull, Krazan & Associates, Inc. has prepared this letter to present our opinions and recommendations regarding the allowable soil bearing pressure for design of the proposed shallow foundation systern at the referenced project site. We recommend that preparation of the shallow foundation subgrade include the rnitigation work presented in our original letter of April27, 2006 for the regions of greatest potential influence by lateral spread (noted in the prior report). In areas within and outside of the mitigation zone (sections of geogrid reinforced fill and/or foundation elements tied together), we recommend that all foundation excavations be inspected by a qualified representative of the geotechnical engineer to determine if the footing subgrade is suitable for an allowable bearing pressure of 3,000 pounds per square foot (psf). We anticipate that significant sections of the foundation excavation areas will reach medium dense to dense, in place fill or native soil and these materials may be in a suitable condition for the design bearing pressure. In any areas that are deemed unsuitable, we recommend re-compaction of the in place soil or overexcavation and replacement with compacted, structural fill up to the bottom of footing elevations, prior to the placement of the foundation elements. The soil improvement work, beneath the foundation elements should include initial removal of up to 2 vertical feet of the in place soil (determined during inspection) followed by compaction of the underlying subgrade to a minimum of 95 percent of the maximum dry density, as determined by ASTM Test Method D 1557. The horizontal limits of the overexcavation should extend up to 2 feet beyond the edges of all fbundation elements. If the on site soils are to be re-used, we recommend that these soils be placed in horizontal lifts not exceeding 8 inches loose thickness. The soils should be compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of the maximum dry density, as determined by ASTM Test Method D 1557. If replacement sructural fill is used, we recommend that this material consist of a gravel and sand mix or crushed aggregate (should be approved by the geotechnical engineer). This material should be placed and compacted in the same general way as the on site soil. It is our opinion that, if all foundation subgrade areas are inspected and deemed suitable and mitigation work is performed, in accordance with our recommendations, where needed (and documented by inspection), the foundation subgrade will be suitable for an allowable bearing pressure of 3,000 psf.

Box 82 Port Townsend, Washington 98368 RE: Mitigation Alternatives for Shallow Foundation Support Northwest Maritime Center of Port Townsend Port Townsend, Washington Dear Mr. Robison, At the request of Craig Curtis, AIA of Miller Hull, Jack Wiggins, P.8., S.E. of Quantum Consulting Engineers and Bob Little of Little Construction, Krazan & Associates, Inc. has participated in discussions regarding the proposed project and we have reviewed information pertaining to the planned construction. Our review of information includes a Seismic Design Considerations Report from GeoEngineers, dated February 3,2006. We have also reviewed available information regarding possible soil mitigation options to reduce the potential impact to the structure, which could result from seismic activity. The GeoEngineers report indicates that the site is susceptible to liquefaction and lateral spread under the current 2003 International Buitding Code (IBC) design seismic event (one in 2,500 year earthquake;2 percent probability of being exceeded in 50 years). We have reviewed the subsurface geotechnical data and completed general calculations to evaluate the site potential for liquefaction and lateral spreading. It is our opinion that the general conclusions regarding the susceptibility of the site to these earthquake induced phenomena are correct. It is our opinion, however, that the proposed structure may be supported on a shallow foundation system, provided the owner accepts a higher level of inherent risk of potential soil movement and structure damage as a result of the design seismic event. Ic is our opinion that the structure can likely be designed with a shallow foundation system and still mitigate the structural damage during the design earthquake, such that the current code requirement is met. It should be understood by the owner that a certain level of risk of damage to the building and uncertainty regarding the performance of any level of mitigation will always be present. It is our opinion that the best initial step to increase the rigidity of the foundation and reduce the potential for structure damage (during the design earthquake) will include tying footing elements together over the areas of greatest sensitivity to lateral spread (areas nearest to slopes down toward the waterways). The details of the foundation system will be developed by Jack Wiggins (project structural engineer). It is our opinion that this measure will provide a significant improvement in the structure performance during the design seismic event. Eleven Offices Serving The lVestern United States f 950 t 144'h Ave, NE #F300 rWoodinville, Washingron 98072 r (425) 485-5519 r Fax: (425) 485-6837 KA No. 092-06072 April27,2006 2 of2 Additional measures may be taken to help reduce the potential impact of the earthquake induced liquefaction and lateral spread. One such measure that we believe will provide a substantially improved upper soil zone beneath the building and therefore reduce the actual ground movements experienced beneath the building foundation elements, would include an approximate 5 feet deep layer of compacted structural fill, reinforced with a high tensile strength geogrid, such as Tensar 8X6100 or equivalent' This type of measure would likely include three layers of geogrid with compacted structural fill up to the building foundation subgrade elevation. The geogrid should be placed in accordance with manufacturer specifications and our final recommendations for placement area and the fill should be compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM Test Method D 1557. If this measure is selectedn we recommend a meeting with the owner, the design team members and a geogrid manufacturer's representative prior to finalizing the proposed mitigation section. Another measure that may improve the susceptibility of certain portions of the site with regard to lateral spread would include improvement of the rip rap slope down to the Point Hudson waterway. Re- compaction of the nearest portion of the slope area and replacement of rip rap would likely decrease the possibility for lateral spread toward the waterway. Recommendations for compaction and improvement work can provided, if requested. We hope that this letter and its attachments provide the information required at this time.

RESPONSIBLE OFFICIAL'S AMENDMENTS TO CHECKLIST ITEMS The applicant's environmental checklist is incorporated by reference. The following discussion is intended to address potential environmental impacts not addressed by the SEPA and/or NEPA environmental checklist. PROPOSED PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant proposes the constr';ction of a 27,000-square-foot multi-purpose maritime cultural and educational iacilifv in Port Townsend's National Landmark Historic District. The subject property is located at the north east end of Water Street (Block 4 of the Original Townsite of Port Townsend) The facility will consist oftwo buildings: the Maritime Heritage and Resource Center (16,816 square feet) and the Maritime Education Building (10,679 square feet). They will offer a variety of maritime heritage and visitor services, including: maritime educational programs, exhibit and display spaces, small boat building and restoration demonstration areas, meeting rooms, catering facilities, a marine chandlery and coffee shop, a boat livery, a maritime resource library, distance learning technologies, and office space for member organizations. The Center has been designed around a large outdoor commons area (approximately 20,000 square feet) that will serve as a staging area for maritime demonstrations and cultural events, as well as enhancing public access to the shoreline. A. EARTH The environmental checklist description conceming earth is adequate. Grading will be required onsite for construction purposes, but the site has been previously graded and prepared due to the need for remediation of hazardous materials. The impervious surfaces onsite not expected to exceed the current conditions onsite. To mitigate potential adverse impacts to earth, the applicant is required by Port Townsend Municipal Code (PTMC) to prepare and follow a detailed clearing and grading plan and an approved temporary erosion and sedimentation control (TESC) plan that utilizes Best Management Practices and complies with the City's Engineering Design Standards. The preliminary TESC plan submitted with the SEPA checklist is adequate for issuance of this MDNS; however, a final TESC plan must be submitted for review and approval by the Public Works Department prior to any clearing and/or grading. The TESC plan can be comprehensive (covering all phases of the project) or submitted prior to earth moving activity for each phase. The applicant must adhere to the approved TESC plan during construction. B. AIR During construction, emissions from heavy equipment and vehicles will be created. When the project is completed, automotive traffic to and from the facility will generate exhaust emissions. Practices to control emissions from gasoline and diesel fuel vapors Northwest Maritime Center Threshold Determination LUP 0s-067 Page 3 January 18,2006 will comply with state, federal, and industry standards. As no residences are proposed on-site, long-term risks to health from airbome particulates would be similar to other commercial properties within the City. Given the scope of the project, long-term air emission impacts are not considered significant. Should dust become a problem during construction, water shall be applied as a suppressant. C. WATER Surface Water The site is adjacent to Port Townsend Bay, with approximately 220 feet of shoreline. All work will be done above the ordinary high water mark, but within 200 feet of the shoreline. The project will be reviewed under the Shoreline Management Act, with additional measures recommended to mitigate any adverse effects on the shoreline environment. The site is also within the 100-year floodplain. Development shall reflect the issues related to floodplain issues. Water Runoff During construction, onsite stormwater will be diverted away from the excavation areas by appropriate use of berms and swales into vegetated areas. Consistent with the City's engineering design standards manual and the DOE's stormwater manual, stormwater improvements will be constructed to collect, store and attenuate stormwater discharges into marine waters. D. PLANTS AND ANIMALS The site is currently vacant, with no significant vegetation. Upon completion, landscaping will use native plant species consistent with a final design approved by the city. The marine waters abutting the affected site contain eelgrass beds that are known to provide significant habitat for indigenous bird feeding and foraging and critical migration and feeding habitat for Puget Sound Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) Hood Canal Summer-run Chum Salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) (sources: Jefferson County Significant Natural Areas Report prepared by the Admiralty Chapter of the National Audubon Society; City of Port Townsend). Other species known around the site include bald eagles and peregrine falcons. No work is expected water ward of the ordinary high water mark and thus no disturbance is expected for marine plants or animals. No significant habitat currently exists onsite for bird species, thus no significant effects are expected. E. NOISE On-site construction noise from the project is erpected. The operation of construction equipment will be limited between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, though on occasion, site work may occur on Saturday, or the work schedule may begin at 7:00 a.m., or extend to as late as 7:00 p.m. to accomplish specific tasks, depending upon weather conditions and progress of work. After construction, noise Northwest Maritime Center Threshold Determination LUP 05-067 Page 4 January 18,2006 generated by occupation and use of the structures is not deemed signiircant enough to warrant additional miti gation. F. LAND AND SHORELINE USE The Comprehensive Land Use Designation and the Zoning Code describe the site as C- III, Historic Commercial. The shoreline designation is "LJrban" environment. It is currently included within the "Maritime Heritage Corridcr" subdistrict of the "Point Hudson District" of the city's Shoreline Master Plan. City maps of Environmentally Sensitive Areas indicate that the project site encompasses the following ESAs: Seismic Hazards; Flood Hazards; Critiual Aquifer Recharge Areas; Wetlands; and Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas. Development shall be in conformance with development performance standards applicable to such designations. Surrounding uses include a ferry dock, various commercial uses and condominiums. This use is proposed to be occupied during regular business hours, with minimal effect on surrounding properties and will include public open space. All structures onsite will be demolished before construction. The proposed land use is compatible with the designations and surrounding uses, and the description of land and shoreline use is adequate. G. AESTHETICS Since the site is located within an area which requires design review, the proposal shall maintain compliance with PTMC Chapters 17.30 and 17.80 regarding Urban Waterfront Design Guidelines and Historic District Design Review. The applicant and city staff have reviewed the proposed project and the applicant has incorporated staff comments into the design. The C-III zone allows buildings up to 40 feet in height. The applicant indicates the maximum height of the buildings to be 40 feet. Partial blockage of views from adjacent properties may occur as a result ofthe development, but the height limit will be maintained. H. LIGHT AND GLARE Exterior lighting will be provided around the buildings to illuminate doorways and pedestrian walkways. To mitigate potential lighting impacts to adjacent properties, illumination intensity shall be kept to a minimum, and all lighting fixtures shall be shielded, and pointed downward. A lighting plan, including any parking lot light poles, must be submitted by the applicant and approved by the city staffprior to issuance of a building permit. I. TRANSPORTATION Frontage. Intersection and Roadway Improvement The project site is bounded on the north by Water Street, the east by Jackson Street, and the west by Monroe Street. It should be noted that vacated portions of Water and Jackson Streets (vacated under Ordinance 1148 of the City of Port Townsend) have attached to Lots 1 and2 and 4 of Block 4 by operation of law. The applicant has provided the City Northwest Maritime Center Threshold Determination LUP 05-067 Page 5 January 18,2006 with a preliminary alignment and parking scheme for the project's Water Street frontage. A final street and parking plan will be required concurrent with the submittal of a Street and Utility Development Permit application. All bordering streets will require improvements as determined by PTMC and review by the Engineeri4g Department. Tr4!sr! The measures used to incorporate transit into the project are deemed adequate. Jefferson Transit provides service to the Commercial Historic District of Port Townsend, though the site itself is not presently served. The nearest transit stop is located at the intersection of Quincy and Water Streets, approximately 500'distant from the site. The completed project will incorporate provision for transit, and seek to capitalize on the currently underused Haines Street Park-and-Ride facility. That facility provides parking for 218 vehicles and ten boat trailer and recreational vehicle spaces. The NWMC intends to employ TDM strategies that incorporate use of the park-and-ride facility. Additionally, the NWMC intends to work closely with the City of Port Townsend to coordinate for special events (e.g., the Wooden Boat Festival), and to coordinate with both the City and Port to obtain a congressional appropriation for parking, streetscape and circulation improvements within the Commercial Historic District (CHD). Parking The proposed site plan shows three spaces onsite, with two spaces dedicated to handicap parking. According to PTMC, onsite parking in the Commercial Historic District is discouraged due to the scarcity of land in the zone and need for efficient and appropriate use around historic structures and public open space. The use of local off-street parking and drop-off points will be used as part of a travel demand management scheme proposed by the applicant. City staff will review the TDM strategies to determine the appropriateness for the site and the proposed uses. To mitigate parking impacts in the Commercial Historic District, the applicants will be required to enter into a no protest agreement with the City conceming the formation of a Parking and Business Improvement District (PBID) for the purpose of funding municipal parking facilities pursuant to RCW 35.87,{. J. PUBLIC SERVICES Public services will be reviewed as part the review and approval of the Street & Utility Development Permit. All construction must comply with the Uniform Fire Code. K" UTILITIES The buildings will incorporate "green" building strategies to reduce the need for public utilities. Water, fire protection, and sewer service will be adequately addressed through the Street and Utility Development permit process in compliance with the City's Engineering Design Standards. Specific utility improvements have been identified and reviewed with the applicant. The applicant will incorporate the identified improvements in the revised plans to be submitted concurrent with the Street and Utility Development Permits.

LUP 05-067 January 18,2006 The environmental review indicates a probability of significani adverse environmental impacts from the proposal, which could be mitigated. The following mitigation measures are intended to mitigate adverse environmental impacts disclosed during SEPA review. If these recommendations are agreed upon by the proponent, issuance of a mitigated determinati on of Non- Signifi cance is appropriate. I PRIOR TO CLEARING AND GRADING: To mitigate potential water and soil erosion hazards, a clearing and grading permit application together vithfinal engineered plans for clearing, grading and temporary erosion and sediment controls (IESC) niust be submitted to the Development Services Department (DSD). A separate clearing and grading permit will only be required if grading will occur prior to the issuance of a building permit. These plans shall be reviewed by DSD with the Public Works Department for compliance with the Port Townsend Engineering Design Standards and the 2005 Department of Ecology Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (DOE SWMM). Temporary erosion and sediment control measures shall be installed as specified by the approved plans before beginning clearing and gading activities and shall be maintained until the City Public Works Department deems them unnecessary. If removal of soils from the site is required, the applicant shall first notiff the DSD Director of the destination of the soil. If the destination site is within the City of Port Townsend, the DSD Director must approve the location of the site and the necessary erosion control measures associated with the soil relocation" If earth disturbance occurs in drier months, water shall be applied as a dust suppressant. A copy of these mitigation measures shall be given to and read by the project contractor and all sub-contractors prior to beginning construction, and a list of these mitigation measures shall be prominently posted at the site in a waterproof container or bag. The applicants shall prepare and submit a No Protest Agreement to the formation of a Parking and Business Improvement District (PBID) for the purpose of funding municipal parking facilities. The No Protest Agreement, after approval as 2 J 4 Northwest Maritime Center Threshold Determination LUP 05-067 Page 8 January 18,2006 5 to form and manner of execution by the City Attomey, shall be recorded with the County Auditor.

The applicant requests a shoreline substantial development permit to construct a multi-purpose maritime cultural and educational facility. The applicant proposes to construct two buiiciings: the maritime heritage and resource center (16,816 square feet) and the Maritime Education Building (10,679 square feet). An existing warehouse on the site will be removed. The applicant proposes to dredge and fill approximately 100 cubic yards of material. The project will be located landward of the ordinary high water mark (OHWM), but work will be done within 200 feet of the shoreline. The site is located within the 100- year floodplain. 4.Characteristics of the Area. The site is located at 431 Water Street between Monroe Street and the Point Hudson Marina in Port Townsend. The site is more fully described as being located within Block 4 of the Original Townsite of Port Townsend, Southwest Quarter, Section l, Township 30 North, Range 1 West in the City of Port Townsend, Jefferson County, Washington. 5. Adverse Impacts of Proposed Use. The Examiner finds that the proposed project will have no significant adverse impacts. The site is already fully covered by impervious surface and currently houses a building that will be demolished for the project. No work will be done beyond the ordinary high water mark. The proposal will not increase the amount of impervious surface and will at the same time provide a use that encourages and promotes public access and enjoyment of the shoreline. The applicant will be dedicating an eisement for public access to the shoreline and its facilities will enhance public access. Conditions recommended by staff will ensure that construction activities do not unnecessarily interrupt shoreline use. The SEPA review thoroughly addresses all adverse environmental impacts, including traffic mitigation, landscaping, lighting and clearing and grading. Given these factors, the project creates no significant adverse impacts and is of overall benefit to the public. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Procedural: 1. Authority of Hearins Examiner. Shoreline Substantial Development applications are classified as Type III permits pursuant to Port Townsend Municipal Code, Chapter 20.01. PTMC 20.10.040. Type III permit applications are revie'.ved and processed by Development Services Department staff, which prepares a recommendation on the matter to the Port Townsend Hearing Examiner. PTMC 20.01.235(8). The Hearing Examiner, after conducting an open-record public hearing, renders a decision pn the shoreline permit, subject to aopeal to the Port Townsend City Council.

Compliance with Notice Requirements- City staff advertised the application in accordance with RCW 90.58.140, WAC L73-27-llO and the Port Townsend Shoreline Management Master Program Section 6.402 and PTMC 20.01.170. 5. Permit Review Criteria. The Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program ("SMP"; governs the policies and criteria for shoreline permit review including the shoreline substantial development permit that is the subject of this Decision. The proposed project is a substantial development because its cost exceed $2,500. SMP Section2-- Definitions. Thus, a shoreline substantial development permit is required- SMP Section 3.30. The subject property contains 22O feet of shoreline along Port Townsend Bay, which has been identified as a shoreline of statewide significance in Port Townsend's SMP. SMP 4.30(3). The proposed use is a primary use under the SMP because its function is mainly scientific and educational. SMP 4.40- The applicable shoreline policies and use regulations are quoted and addressed below Section 4.105 uRBAN--Performance Standards SMP Section 4.105(1): Developmznt shall be limited to those uses which can be classified as a water-dependent, water-related or water-enjoyment use. 6. The Northwest Maritime Center is an institution dedicated to "maritime history, boats and environmental stewardship of Puget Sound." It is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to educate the public about marine vessels and the marine environment. The facility will have activities both in and out of the water. SMP Section 4.105(2): Provisions to enhance the public's use and enjoyment of the shorelines and waters of the state shall be included with new substantial developruents or any change in principle property use to a new conditional use occurring along the shoreline- 7 . The site contains a deep-draft dock opened in 2004 for public use. In addition, a 20,000 square-foot outdoor cornmons area is planned adjacent to the shorciine. The NWMC will also dedicate portions of the properiy a'trutting the shoreline to the City of Port Townsend for a shoreline public access easement.

Be suitably marked to as to inform the public as to the extent, location, and availability of the access. d. Be completed and available for public use at the tirne of occupancy of the development. 8. The outdoor commons area is an integral part of the facility design and will remain open to the public. The shoreline easement will be a permanent feature of the site allowing public access to the shore. The existing dock will also serve the public as an access point to the water and will be used to dock watercraft for the center. SMP Section 4.105(4): All development shall be setback at least fifteen (15) feet from the ordinary high water mark except those portions of water-dependent uses which require water access or a shoreline location, or as provided in Section 4.106(3). 9, The site plan shows no buildings inside the OFIWM, but there is a connection from the facility and outdoor conunons area to the public dock. This connection is needed toget to the public access areas. SMP Section 4.105(5): Unique natural features in the urban shoreline area, such as bluffs, dunes, and wet land areas, shall be preserved and protected- 10. There are no natural features landward of the OHWM. This site was previously developed on top of fill. SMP Section 4.105(6): Motor vehicle parking between a new structure and the water is prohibited. Parking shall be located no closer than fifieen feet from the ordinary high water mark or unique natural areas such as bluffs, dunes, or wet land areas- 11- There are no parking spaces between the proposed buildings and the water. Parking is located along the existing public streets. SMP Section 4.105(7): AII new or redeveloped parking areas shall provide landscaping. Landscaping shall be provided benveen sireets and the project site and between public access areas and parking ctreas, except at exits or wh.en a building does not set backfrom a street- 12. Few new pari<ing spaces are proposed fcr ihis development due to nearby parking availability. The City will require landscaping the between the parking areas and the sireet. {PLP 621 697 .DOC; I / t 3036.9000CC/ } SSDP - Northwest Maritime Center p.4 Findings, Conclusions and Decision I 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 t4 r5 t6 L7 i8 t9 20 2l 22 2_" 24 25 SMP Section 4.105(8): No fence, waII, hedge, or barrier ,Sreater than forty-two inches in height shall be placed or enlarged nearer to the water than the building setback line.

SMP Section 4.105(9)z No development shall be approved for any new or expanded building or structure of more than thirty-ftve feet above average grade level that wiII obstruct the view of a substantial number of residences adjoining the shoreline ares. 14. The special height overlay district was amended in 2002 to permit structures up to 40 feet in height on Block 4 of the original townsite. The tower in the Chandler Maritime Education Building is 40-feet in height and is the tallest portion of the proposed development. SMP Section 4.105(10): Run-off created by new impervious surfaces shall not increase the rate of flow or decrease the quality of storm water from pre-project conditions. 15. There will be no new impervious surfaces on the site resulting from this development. The site was previ,ously developed and almost fully impervious- SMP Section 4.1,05(11): Urban development should provide for public views to the water. Wherever possible, the waterside of shoreline buildings should include windows, doors, and public areas that enhance enjoyment of the shoreline and prevent an interesting, attractive vtew of the development from the water. 16- The proposed buildings will have numerous windows and doors to provide access to the outdoor cofirmons space and the water. SMP Section 4.105(12): Developments shail be designed so as not to block, adversely intedere with, or reduce the public's visual and physical access to the water and shorelines of the stnte. 17. This development is specifically designed for public use and enjoyment of the waterfront and will enhance the area through a public-oriented use and design. Section 4.106 :I'OWNSEND URBAN WA SPECIAL DISTRICT=-Periormance Standards SMP Section 4.106(1): Development shall be limited to those uses which can be classift.ed as a',vater- dependent, woter'related or water-enjoyment use 1PLP627697 .DOC; l/r3m6.900000/ I SSDP - Northwest Maritime Center p. 5 Findings, Conclusions and Decision I 2 J 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 t2 t3 T4 15 I6 t7 18 19 20 2T 22 23 24 25 18. The proposed use is a maritime-related organization meant for public education and use of the shoreline and water. SMP Section 4.1O6(2\z New structures or exterior alterations of existing structures located within or immediately adjacent to the Water Street Historic Commercial District shall not detract from the design and architectural integrity of the district. To this end, plans for development shall include exterior elevations with enough design details to be evaluated by appropriate historic preservation agencies- 19- The proposed buildings are designed to fit into the existing historical character of the area. The buildings have features and utilize materials fitting of a maritime- related use. Design review was done in close coordination with Port Townsend staff to assure a similar character with other downtown uses. SMP Section 4.106(3): Public access provisions shall include considerationfor both physical and visual access to the shoreline. Said provisions shall be coordinated with the Port Townsend Planning and Building Department and planned in conjunction with the Comprehensive Public Access Plan and sfutll provide a link between the shoreline and upland and./or connect with adjacent access provisions as. exists or are planned. 20.
