The parcel number is 00437578601900, which accounts for approximately 0.33-acres. The parcel is rectangular in shape and bordered by existing single family home development to the north and west, Norton Ave to the east, and a Boy Scouts lodge to the south. The entire site is currently undeveloped and is primarily vegetated with invasive shrub vegetation with scattered deciduous trees throughout the site. Dominant species include Himalayan blackberry,Japanese knotweed,giant horsetail,bindweed,red alder,and Pacific willow. The site is accessed from the south off of 34th Street. The site slopes to the north and is situated in a small 'bowl'. The site drains to the northwest into existing stormwater infrastructure. 2.3 Project Description The proposed project includes the construction of a single family home,driveway,and utilities. The project will take access off of 34th St SE,located south of the subject site. Site construction will include clearing and grading on the southern portion of the site to allow for the creation of a building lot and access driveway. The proposed project meets the intent and criteria allowed for in the R-1 zone. 2.4 Wetland Determination When all three parameters(vegetation, hydrology, and soils) have been examined at an observation point, a wetland determination can be made. A positive determination requires that all three parameters be positive for wetland. If any one of the three is not positive,the observation point is not within a wetland. If all three parameters are met at all observation points,then the entire area is a wetland. If one or more parameters are not met at some observation points,then some of the area is wetland and some is not, and the boundary must be determined by additional sampling. Site investigations were conducted to rating wetlands using the Department of Ecology's Washington State Wetland Rating System for Western Washington:2014 Update(Hruby, 2014). Critical Areas on- site were investigated and areas within 300' of the property line were visually assessed. Photos were taken that were representative of each critical area and its buffer. 2.5 Stream Determination The determination for the presence or absence of any streams on-site was completed based on the water typing criteria in the WAC 222-16-030 and EMC 19.37.160,which includes:channel width, gradient,flow, impoundment,fish,diversion, and other factors.
