Teddi Holbrook From: Teddi Holbrook Sent: Wednesday, June 5, 2024 4:31 PM To: Ben Thornton Subject: B2404-010 and PW2404-011; 1701 121st St SE; Planning 1st Review Comments Attachments: REVI23-103 - Planning Director Decision signed.pdf Good Afternoon, Thank you for submitting plans for building permit B2404-010 and Public Works permit PW2404-011 for the proposed work at 1701 121s'St SE in Everett.This email serves as Planning's first comment letter for both applications. Please note Planning cannot further review and/or approve these permits until the following comments have been addressed. 1. Critical Areas a. Wetland Rating.The Wetland Rating Summary for Wetland A appears to be inaccurate or lacking information. For accuracy purposes, please revise and see below. i. Please clarify the HGM classification of Wetland A. The report text describes this wetland as being Depressional (page 7 of the report),yet the Lake Fringe Rating Summary form was provided. Please provide a Depressional Rating Summary Form with figures if the Lake Fringe Rating Summary was used by mistake. ii. Assuming the wetland is a Lake Fringe wetland, Wetland A appears to rate as a Category II wetland with 21 points. Please see below: 1. Please revise page 1 if the Wetland has multiple HGM classes. Slope and Lake Fringe Wetland HGM classes appear to be indicated on page 4 of the Rating Summary. 2. Please provide the applicable figure numbers on page 2 of the Wetland Rating Summary. 3. Questions L2.1 and L5.1—Silver Lake is allowed to be used by motorized powerboats per EMC 8.44.020.There is no ban on gasoline or diesel motors. Per the Washington State Wetland Rating System For Western Washington: 2014 Update,Version 2.0, Questions L2.1 and L5.1 should be answered as "yes" 4. Question H1.5—Per the annotation on page 120 of the 2014 Wetland Rating System Manual, Version 2, Undercut banks are, "...present in Lake Fringe wetlands with a fringe of vegetation that overhangs an area of open water or aquatic bed for at least 33 ft along the shore." Undercut banks should therefore be selected as a special habitat feature per this annotation. b. Buffer Enhancement Areas.As noted in the Planning Director Decision for REVI23-103 (attached),the buffer enhancement planting area is proposed within City-owned property and will need to be relocated onto the same property as the proposed improvements. Please revise the Critical Areas Report& Mitigation Plan and the accompanying "Impacts and Mitigation Plan Map" dated November 6, 2023 to evaluate and depict an alternative buffer enhancement location within the property. As a note, since most of the buffer impacts are associated with Wetland A, potentially relocating a portion or all of the buffer enhancement areas adjacent to Wetland A may be a more feasible option. c. Critical Area Signage. With the installation of buffer enhancement plantings, please install Critical Areas signs per EMC 19.37.220.D around that area. Please show the location of proposed signs on the Critical Areas site plan. d. Critical Area Covenant. Please submit a completed, signed, and notarized Critical Area Covenant with Critical Area Site Plan. Do not record this covenant with Snohomish County until you are instructed to do so (after review). i
