line. The stream flows northward through the pipe that is located near the west lot line of Lot 1. Neither the stream, nor the pipe, would be altered. (exhibit 1, staff report, page 9; exhibit 12, geotechnical engineering study; exhibit 13, phase I environmental site assessment; testimony of Ms. Weldon) 23. The second environmental feature of the site is a steep slope located near the southwest corner of the property. The slope, approximately 45% at its greatest, rises approximately 25 feet from west to east. It is densely covered with trees, including deciduous trees and a mixture of understory vegetation. A geotechnical engineering study was done of the slope and there were no indications of instability. However, because the slope is compromised with fill, the proposed building to be developed on Lot 3 is recommended to be setback at least 10 feet from the top of the slope. (exhibit 1, staff report, page 9; exhibit 12, geotechnical engineering study; testimony of Ms. Weldon) 24. As part of the environmental review of the project, a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment was prepared as part of the geotechnical engineering study. There are no hazardous substances or petroleum products that have been identified on-site. (exhibit 1, staff report, page 9; exhibit 12, geotechnical engineering study; testimony of Ms. Weldon) 25. The City submitted that based on its review, the proposed short subdivision complies with SEPA and Critical Area regulations. (exhibit 1, staff report, page 9; testimony of Ms. Weldon) 26. Storm drainage for the site is within the Pigeon Creek No. 1 Drainage Basin. CHS submitted a drainage report, issued on December 16, 2016, which was reviewed by the Everett Public Works Department. The department commented that the report and design must be updated to meet current 2017 standards. CHS will be required to review the drainage consistent with the current stormwater regulations at the time the building permit is filed. The City submitted that it is anticipated that stormwater can be managed in a manner that is consistent with the current standards. (exhibit 1, staff report, page 9; exhibit 16, page 2 (11), comments from agencies and city departments; testimony of Ms. Weldon) 27. Yard area and on-site recreation, as defined in EMC 18.28.250 and 18.28.260, usually must be satisfied for short subdivision approval. However, the City, in reviewing the instant application, determined that these ordinances are not applicable because the development on-site will not be for single-family development or a larger traditional subdivision. There will be a total of 19,264 square feet of lawn and garden area with a gazebo, garden shed and outdoor terrace area to the west of the building on Lot 3. (exhibit 1, staff report, page 9) �3 �
