PLANNED ACTION DETERMINATION INFORMATION SEPA15-034 AGENCIES WITH JURISDICTION 1. Washington State Department of Ecology—NPDES Permit. 2. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Section 404 permit. APPLICABLE CONDITIONS FROM SW EVERETT MITIGATION DECISION DOCUMENT Section 1: LAND USE 1. Where buffers are required adjacent to residential areas, an analysis of hazardous trees in the buffer must be completed by a professional arborist. Any trees that are hazardous (i.e., are diseased, damaged or leaning and are likely to fall on development) must be removed prior to issuance of occupancy permits, and preferably, prior to construction of structures on the site. Where they would not create a hazard, the trunks of these trees must be left for snags. For each tree cut, three coniferous trees must be planted unless the Planning Director determines that adequate screening exists without the additional trees. However, for each tree left as a snag, one coniferous tree must be planted. The arborist must submit a tree removal and replacement plan to the Planning Department and mark in the field all trees to be removed. The Planning Department must approve the tree removal and replacement plan prior to any activity in the environmentally sensitive area. Large woody debris should be retained where it would not create a hazard, such as causing flooding due to alteration of the natural hydrology of a stream system. 2. When approving buffers adjacent to residential areas that allow views through the buffers from the development, the Planning Director shall ensure that the development will be substantially obscured from the residential areas. The Planning Director shall require view analysis as necessary. 3. Rockeries and retaining walls greater than 4 feet in height and 40 feet in length that are visible from adjacent properties or public right of way shall be substantially screened with landscaping or architecturally designed and landscaped to break up the appearance of length/height in a manner approved by the Planning Director. Rockeries and retaining walls within required landscape areas shall not be counted in the required landscaping width. 4. If any archaeological resources or human remains are found during construction, the project proponent shall contact the Tulalip Tribes, the City of Everett Planning and Community Development Department, and the State Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation. This contact will initiate a consultation process for determining subsequent actions. Section 2: TRANSPORTATION 1. All development must pay a fee of$1,006.00 per PM peak hour trip to fund system-wide transportation improvements. 2. Transit routes/schedules and high occupancy vehicle information must be prominently displayed for employees at on-site commute information centers and near associated walkways. Preferential parking space locations for carpools and vanpools must be provided on all sites. Buildings must incorporate bicycle and pedestrian amenities such as lockers, shower rooms, and bicycle stands.
