This matter came before the Winslow Planning Agency at City Hall on April 28, 1983 at 7:30 P.M. Ben Klein of the Washington State Dept. of Transportation (WSDOT) explained the project: automated toll gate, move existing fence in the auto holding area to the east, build an attendant's waiting booth, enlarge present toll booths, interior remodeling of terminal to provide handicapped access and turnstiles, and relocate the agent's office within the terminal. No others spoke nor submitted information concerning the project. The proceedings were recorded and monitored by Planning Agency Secretary Connie Toliver. From the testimony heard and materials submitted, the Planning Agency makes these: FINDINGS OF FACT The location of the proposed project is the Winslow Ferry Terminal owned by the WSDOT. II. On March 2, 1983 the applicants filed an environmental checklist concerning the project. The lead agency, WSDOT, has made a proposed declaration of non-significance on March 2, 1983. III. The City's Shoreline Management Master Program places the shoreline of the instant property in the Urban Environment. The upland is zoned Commercial under the Winslow Zoning Ordinance. VI. The governing municipal regulations in the matter are the Shoreline Management Master Program and the Winslow Zoning Ordinance 79-15 as amended. The proposed project is intended to improve the efficiency of ferry operations and reduce traffic congestion near the terminal area. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Because of the above Findings of Fact, the Planning Agency has determined that this application does not require a formal public hearing in accordance with Section V.B.7.b. of the Shoreline Management Master Program. WASHINGTON STATE DEPT. OF TRANSPORTATION Page 2 II. The procedural requirements of the Shoreline Management Master Program have been met and the application is properly sent to the Winslow City Council. III.
