EVERETT WASHINGTON CITY OF EVERETT Community, Planning & Economic Development Department Planning Division PLANNING DIRECTOR DECISION — REASONABLE USE Project File Number: REV120-027 Applicant: Pavel Andreyanov Site Location: 10104 Dakota Way, Everett, WA 98204 Tax Parcel #: 00552400900200 APR � 5 2421 cjT Y Per®F .jt� . Vic T?' Zoning: R-2, Single -Family Medium -Density Residential Staff Contact: Grace Pollard / gpollard@everettwa.gov / 425.257.8731 PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The proposed project is the construction of a single-family residence (SFR) with attached garage, driveway, and a deck on a legal buildable lot containing three (3) Category III wetlands and one (1) Type F stream. The on -site wetlands, stream, and associated buffers encumber the entirety of the property. The applicant has requested reasonable economic use of the property and has submitted an application to the City of Everett Planning Division to reduce the critical area buffer by 4,227 square feet to provide a building site for the single-family residence, setbacks, and small yard area. To mitigate for these impacts the applicant will enhance the remainder of the on -site buffer areas that consist of maintained lawn (11,616 square feet). A Critical Area Covenant will place 28,711 square feet of the subject property under permanent protection. AUTHORITY: Section 37.050.B.6(c) of the Critical Area Ordinance authorizes the Planning Director to permit a reduction of critical area buffer only to the extent necessary to provide for a reasonable economic use of the property. Where critical area buffer reduction is permitted, enhancement/restoration of the buffer and/or critical area must be provided so that mitigation results in no net loss of critical area and buffer functions to the maximum extent feasible. FINDINGS: The Planning Director has found that the applicant has demonstrated that the proposed development has met the requirements of EMC 19.37.050.6.6. as follows: 1) There is no other reasonable use or feasible alternative to the proposed development with less impact on the critical area; and 2) The proposed development does not pose a threat to the public health, safety and welfare on or off of the subject lot; and 3) Any alterations permitted subject to the requirements of this chapter shall be the minimum necessary to allow for reasonable use of the property; and 4) The inability of the applicant to derive reasonable economic use of the property is not the result of actions by the applicant in subdividing the property or adjusting a boundary line, thereby creating the undevelopable condition after the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter; and S) The proposal mitigates the impacts on the critical areas and buffers to the maximum extent possible. j 2930 Wetmore Ave, Ste 8-A 425.257.8731 planning@everettwa.gov Everett, WA 98201 425.257.8742 fax ` everettwa.gov r
