1.0 PROPERTY LOCATION AND SITE DESCRIPTION Wetland Resources, Inc. (WRI) performed a site investigation on April 27, 2016 to locate jurisdictional wetlands and streams on and in proximity to Snohomish County parcel #00449500009300 located at 4800 Dogwood Drive in Everett, Washington (Section 36, Township 29N, Range 04E, W.M.). The subject property is situated within the Snohomish Watershed,Water Resources Inventory Area(WRIA) 7. The 0.54-acre site is located in a residential neighborhood. The subject property contains an existing church building, a shed and parking area. Dogwood-Elm Creek flows north just west of the property. The boundary of a previously delineated wetland that occurs at the base of a steep slope along the western property boundary was verified. The wetland was rated using the Department of Ecology Wetland Rating System for Western Washington 2014 update (per Everett Municipal Code - EMC 19.37.090). The wetland is a Category IV wetland with a habitat score of 5, which results in a 44-foot buffer (EMC 19.37.110). The stream is a Type Ns stream and receives a 50- foot buffer. In situations where wetland and stream buffers overlap, the most restrictive buffer applies. In addition, steep slopes require a 25-foot buffer. Pursuant to EMC 19.37.110(B)(1), increased standard buffer widths are required when the minimum buffer for a wetland extends into an area with a slope of greater than twenty-five percent. In this case, the buffer shall be the greater of a) the minimum buffer for that particular wetland; or b) twenty-five feet beyond the point where the slope becomes twenty-five percent or less for at least a horizontal distance of ten feet. 4 c---- 4-__ ...„ ... , , ,:e„...,.. ,i SUBJECT SITE , C '', ' : . iu.4r NP ` i h + 1 I.AY��T.; ,d1 ile.t .* ---:,/:: .i&vdr,A__,‘ -_: Figure 1.
