ordering of the improvements to integrate this section of Shetland Road into the County Road
System contingent upon the Determination of Nonsignificance(DNS)being issued on August

input,compliance with statues,legal review,verification of adherence to legal requirements,
community impact,environmental consideration analysis of the project's efforts in both the
community and environment.
Loretta added that there was a preliminary petition circulated through the community and a
formal petition. Public Works assisted with providing facts and information that was mailed to
each property owner within the RID district boundary. This notice included what the property
boundaries were,what the proposed assessment is based on assumptions,the period of time for
the assessment,assumed interest rate,type of financing,and who will benefit from the road
improvements. Since this was initiated by a petition process,the property owners had until
yesterday at 5:00 p.m.to submit notice of any changes. No changes were received. There are
two tests that must be done: 1)find the majority of the property owners that front the road to
be improved are supportive and 2)find the majority of the property owners within the district
itself are supportive. Both tests passed. This RID cannot be formed today. The County must
wait for the State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA)determination on August 15,2024. Once
the SEPA determination is complete,the RID would be effective. This determination would
be an environmental assessment of if the County makes these RID improvements,what the
potential environmental impacts may be and how they would be mitigated.
