Purpose of Addendum:  The proposal is to adopt the 2012 annual update to the City's Six Year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) for projects scheduled to be constructed in the years 2013 through 2018. An addendum is appropriate when a proposal has been modified, but the changes should not result in any new significant adverse impacts.  The SEPA determination addresses environmental impacts for transportation support for land use consistency with City adopted plans and policies, impacts to environmental, transportation, utilities, and capital facilities.  No significant adverse impacts are anticipated as a result of this proposal.

Project Location:  The proposed TIP projects include right-of-way improvements in the vicinity of SE 272nd St., Jenkins Creek to 185th Place Extension (CIP 1127); SE 272nd St., 185th Place to 192nd Ave. SE Extension (CIP 1128); 185th Place SE Extension, SE 272nd St to Wax Road/180th Ave. SE (CIP 1124); portions of 180th Ave. SE and SE 256th St. (CIP 1056 and 1149); and SE 272nd St, 160th Ave SE to 172nd Ave SE (CIP 1063).  All TIP improvements will occur within the boundaries of the City of Covington, King County. Washington.

Project Description:  The proposal is to adopt the City of Covington's Six Year TIP 2013-2018 by the Covington City Council.  This proposal is for the overall Capital Improvement and Transportation Improvement (CIP/TIP) programs.  Most of the projects under this SEPA review are exempt under WAC 197-11-800 because the improvements are located within existing street right-of-way and/or reconfiguration of existing streets. Additional SEPA review will be supplemented by individual project review of each non-exempt proposal, if not covered by the limits of the original MDNS.  A map of the proposed projects and locations of this proposal are identified in Attachment A.  The purpose and need of this proposal is in compliance with State law as defined in RCW 35.77.010 and 35.36.70A.
