A landscape plan was originally triggered for these permits, despite this only being "Phase 1" of the proposal, due to the valuation provisions of EMC 19.35.030.B. The landscaping plan submitted as part of these permit reviews identified the "existing" landscaping on site and was generated from the last landscaping plan on file for the property. It had been noted by the applicant/primary contact for these permits that any landscaping that was missing and/or subpar would be replaced accordingly. Upon reviewing aerial images and now walking most of the site, it appears several trees, shrubs, and ground cover have been removed overtime. Additionally upon further review, it was determined that at least one additional landscape island is required in the southern parking area in accordance with EMC 19.35.080. 1 have attached a copy of the previously approved plan with redlined areas/trees that I specifically noticed were missing however this isn't a comprehensive assessment and more may be missing as well. Unfortunately, I cannot sign off on the permit(s) to be finaled without this situation being resolved. A new landscaping and irrigation plan are required and should be prepared in accordance with EMC 19.35.100 and EMC 19.35.115. Please note this doesn't necessarily mean a one-to-one replacement of what's missing, since the current code requirements may differ from the original requirements/plan approved in 1992. The new plan(s) should clearly identify all existing and proposed landscaping and how it meets all applicable requirements of EMC 19.35. Note: EMC 19.35.070 identifies instances in which modification of landscaping requirements may be permissible. The stream channel to the West of the site is to be opened up, replanting the existing lawn area north of the small building in the southwest corner with buffer mitigation plants may be a modification option/request to consider. This option could not be used to account for all missing trees/landscaping on site but it may make up for some of it. This process requires a formal application/fee-1 would suggest preparing a preliminary proposal for my review/feedback prior to making a formal application should this be a route you/PUD choose to consider. For reference, the expiration date for your permits was extended until 5.11.2020. Please let me know if you have any questions about the above -noted requirements and I'm happy to be of further assistance.
