Councilmember Kenna asked how this declaration will affect the disposition of the Pink House. Mr. O'Neill reviewed the statements made on the check- list which stated that these concerns would be addressed as a part of the 106 process and that the city would comply with the results of that process. He then reviewed WAC 197-11-660 indi- cating that where a process like this is required which will address the impacts, no duplication of effort is necessary at this time.
