Landscape Modification Checklist: Attachment for Permit B2404-026 — Everett Municipal Building Public Sidewalk Restroom Landscaping is required at minimum between the structure and the property lines; removal of the landscaping shall require a landscape modification that meets one of the modification provisions of EMC 19.35.190. Note that pedestrian walkways can cross required landscaping per EMC 19.35.130.D, but they should not eliminate the landscaping areas altogether. • The Everett Municipal Public Sidewalk Restroom Structure is a 20' x 20' accessory building that will provide public access to a restroom within the Downtown Everett Business District. The CMU structure with a metal gable roof contains two separate restroom stalls for public use and a small storage area for janitorial and cleaning supplies. We respectfully request a modification to eliminate the landscaping requirement for this public sidewalk restroom. The intent of the sidewalk restroom is to create a safe and accessible amenity within the downtown business district that can be used by the public. Our goal is to site this restroom as close to the sidewalk as possible while meeting grading requirements for ADA access on the ramp and landing with the fewest number of obstructions. The slope will require additional ramp width to accommodate safety handrails and will discourage and address any concealment issues close to the building and its doors by providing clear lines of sight between the structure and sidewalk.
