The applicant is proposing to install downed logs along the border between the existing driveway <br /> and parking areas and the subject buffer. These logs should be as large as possible. Installation <br /> of this log border will demarcate the limits of the development and discourage intrusion in to the <br /> adjacent critical areas. <br /> Implementation of the proposed buffer restoration is expected to return the buffer to its <br /> approximate pre-disturbance condition (or better)and maintain the overall level of functions and <br /> values provided by the subject stream and buffer. <br /> BUFFER RESTORATION <br /> To resolve the existing violation, the applicant is offering to enhance / restore a total of 3,040 <br /> square feet of buffer on the subject site. Buffer restoration will consist of removing invasive <br /> species (Himalayan blackberry and reed canarygrass) and planting 60 percent of the mitigation <br /> area with native trees and 40 percent of the mitigation area with native shrubs. All proposed <br /> species are native to the Puget Sound region and have been selected for their benefits to wildlife <br /> and their proven success on past mitigation projects. The following native trees and shrubs are <br /> proposed to be installed within the buffer restoration area. <br /> Buffer Enhancement—3,040 square feet <br /> Common Name Latin Name Size Spacing Quantity <br /> Douglas fir Pseudotsuga menziesii 1 gallon 10, 9 <br /> Western red cedar Thuja plicata 1 gallon 10, 9 <br /> Vine maple Acer circinatum 1 gallon 5' 12 <br /> Osoberry Oemleria cerasiformis 1 gallon 5' 12 <br /> Baldhip rose Rosa gymnocarpa 1 gallon 5' 12 <br /> Scouler's willow Salix Scouleriana 1 gallon 5' 12 <br /> GRASS SEEDING <br /> Any disturbed soil in critical areas or buffers shall be seeded to the recommended grass seed <br /> mixtures below, or similar approved mixtures. <br /> Common Name Latin Name Ibs/1,000 s.f. <br /> Tall fescue Festuca arundinacea 0.4 <br /> Colonial bentgrass Agrostis tenuis 0.4 <br /> Annual ryegrass Lolium multiflorum 0.5 <br /> White clover Trifolium repens 0.2 <br /> Acre Environmental Consulting, LLC November 22, 2021 <br /> Buffer Mitigation Plan for 2924 100th Street SE Page 3 <br /> Everett, WA <br />
