1. PROJECT OVERVIEW <br /> This document is intended to provide engineering information necessary to support the <br /> SFR building and land disturbance activity permit applications to the City of Everett for the <br /> new SFR and driveway proposed on this lot. The site is located at 2009 Mukilteo <br /> Boulevard, Everett, WA 98203, refer to Figure 1 for a vicinity map. The gross lot area is <br /> approximately 0.86 acres. The existing site contained a SFR, detached garage, shed, <br /> asphalt driveway and landscaping with a several mature trees. The existing SFR has <br /> been removed from the site but the existing detached garage and shed remain and will be <br /> removed as part of this project. The average slope of the site within the proposed area of <br /> disturbance is flat and averages less than 5% down to the north. Steep slopes are present <br /> to the north of the lot, the top of the steep slopes are located in the northern portion of the <br /> parcel, between the SFR and the BNSF R/W. The toe of the slope is located off-site of the <br /> project site. The existing driveway takes access from a 30' ingress, egress and utility <br /> easement serving this parcel and a two lot short plat to the east. Access to the site will be <br /> maintained off of existing driveway access located on Gibson Place, to the south. <br /> This project proposes to construct approximately 8,517 sf of new/replaced impervious <br /> surfaces. Due to the size of the project, minimum requirements 1-9 apply to all of the new <br /> impervious surfaces for this project along with all the disturbed pervious surfaces. <br /> Included on the following page is a copy of the MR flow chart out of the COE Drainage <br /> Manual showing how the applicable minimum requirements were determined. This <br /> proposal does not meet any of the land-use criteria that require specific source control for <br /> the final use and a SWPPP has been prepared to address the runoff from the site during <br /> construction. Refer to Sections 4 and 5 for a detailed discussion. <br /> Figures 2 & 3 are provided to show the existing and developed basins and runoff <br /> conditions for the two lots. The runoff from the proposed disturbance area, in the existing <br /> conditions, spreads over the flat landscaping as sheet flow. The topography of the site <br /> directs the runoff from the disturbance area over the steep slopes to the north of the lot. In <br /> the developed conditions runoff generated by the proposed impervious surfaces will be <br /> collected and conveyed to an existing conveyance system installed as part of the short <br /> plat to the east. This conveyance system was sized to accommodate this parcel and <br /> directs runoff over the bank with a dispersal tee discharging onto the BNSF R/W at the <br /> base of the slope. <br /> The on-site soils have also been reviewed by Julian Liu, a geotechnical engineer. The on- <br /> site soils were found to be Esperance sands, with the water table not encountered at a <br /> depth of 31.5 feet below grade and an infiltration rate of 4.5 in/hr. Refer to Appendix `B' of <br /> this report, to view Julian's findings and results. The USDA Web Soil Survey was also <br /> used to identify the on-site soils, which identified the soils as gravelly sandy loam. Refer <br /> to Figure 4 to view a soils map. However due to the proximity to the bluff to the north it <br /> was determined by the City of Everett that infiltration would not be feasible for this project <br /> and that is the reasoning behind the direct discharge to the base of the bluff. The <br /> drainage design for this project has been laid out per the COE 2010 Stormwater <br /> Management Manual. <br /> The downstream system for this project is comprised of sheet flow over existing flat <br /> landscaping, steep slopes and the Puget Sound. During the site visit there were no signs <br /> of flooding or capacity issues within the observed downstream systems. <br /> Robinett SFR 15-0403 <br /> Revised:July,2016 Page 3 <br />
