Additional Property Attributes

The Property consists of approximately 0.74 acres of land identified by Spokane County as parcel no. 35202.0306, which is developed with a 11,298 square-foot building with approximately 2,592 square-foot of second floor space, constructed in 1963, and a 1,688 square-foot canopy constructed in 1964. The outdoor areas of the parcel are asphalt or concrete paved with limited landscaping. The Property is used by Downtown Auto Specialists for automotive servicing and repair and a small portion of the building is used by Ray's Computers for vinyl records and CD sales and computer repair. Napo's Nu 2 U Auto Sales was also a tenant of the building for used auto sales until January 2020. Downtown Auto Specialists has taken over their leased space for specialty Volkswagen repair. In February 2019, Janken Properties LLC purchased the Property from Rick and Vickie Hing Wah Louie. The Louie's had owned the Property since 2011 when they purchased it from James B. and Linda A. Quinlan. The following business environmental risks (BERs) relevant to redevelopment or reuse of the Property were identified during the Phase I ESA: -Based on the age of the Property's building (circa 1963), lead-based paint and asbestos-containing material (ACM) may be present in the building. The following potential ACMs were observed during the site visit: vinyl floor tile and mastic, ceiling tiles/panels, acoustical ceiling texture ("popcorn"), and textured wallboard. A formal hazardous materials survey was not completed as part of the Phase I ESA scope of work. -Water staining and apparent mold were observed on the interior ceilings and walls of the second-floor rooms, the stairwell, and one of the showroom offices. -Many containers of chemicals were observed during the site visit, stored haphazardly throughout the Property's building, including eight drums of used oil stored outdoors without secondary containment. No leaks or staining were observed from the drums. We have performed this Phase I ESA of the Property in conformance with the scope and limitations of ASTM International (ASTM) Practice E1527-13. Any exceptions to, or deletions from, this practice are described in the Data Gaps section of this report. This assessment has revealed the following evidence of recognized environmental conditions (RECs) in connection with the Property: -REC #1: The presence of a dye-works and dry cleaners with three gasoline USTs as well as potentially three separate gasoline aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) on the Property from the early 1900s to the late 1950s is a REC for the Property. -REC #2: The presence of a service station on the Property from 1921 to the early 1960s with five gasoline USTs installed in 1940 and four USTs in 1958 (three gasoline and one waste oil), and the unknown status of the USTs, is a REC for the Property. -REC #3: The presence of a waste oil UST associated with the present-day building from 1964 to 1990/1996 (conflicting records) with no documentation of its condition upon its removal is a REC for the Property. -REC #4: The presence of hydraulic lifts with an in-ground oil reservoir/tank used for automotive servicing since the early 1960s is a REC for the Property. -REC #5: The presence of a UST fill port and vent pipe at the southeast corner of the adjacent west building with no documentation of its existence is a REC for the Property. -REC #6: The presence of a service station on the adjacent west property during the 1950s or earlier to the 1960s is a REC for the Property. Based on the identified RECs, it is recommended that a Phase II ESA be conducted prior to redevelopment to further evaluate the presence/absence and magnitude of potential impacts at the Property.
