Goals,Objectives,and Policies <br /> 3. Seek public comment on project-level environmental and technical information and <br /> specific restoration and recreation designs. <br /> 4. Periodically mail project information and hold group and individual property owner <br /> meetings to ensure active participation and exchange of ideas and information. <br /> 4.1.3.5 Implementation and Interagency Coordination Policies <br /> 1. Approve restoration and recreation designs after adequate project level environmental <br /> review and public review is completed, appropriate to the scale and complexity of the <br /> proposals. <br /> 2. Cooperate with federal, state, and local governments in the design and permitting of <br /> habitat restoration projects. <br /> 3. Encourage Snohomish County to implement regional watershed planning and County <br /> Comprehensive Plan goals for fish and wildlife habitat restoration in the unique <br /> location of the Marshland along the mainstem Snohomish River. <br /> 4. Annex the municipal urban growth area to allow for a coordinated design and <br /> simplified permitting process for restoration on City owned lands. <br /> 5. Allow for restoration phasing which allows for deliberative decision making as more <br /> information becomes available and allows the City to leverage different funding <br /> sources when they are available. <br /> 6. Allow modifications of restoration areas to reduce costs, such as minimizing dike <br /> lengths. <br /> 7. Allow for the modification of restoration concepts, location of trails, and location of <br /> passive recreation areas based on results of future on-site studies, design development, <br /> estimated costs, environmental permitting, regulations, future transportation studies, <br /> hydraulic modeling and community input. <br /> 8. Allow for a wide range of mechanisms for potential implementation of restoration <br /> actions. Seek and implement a variety of funding sources which may include, but are <br /> not limited to, grants and landowner tax incentives. Look to design concepts that can <br /> function both as habitat restoration and as a means to collect funding, such as <br /> mitigation banking. <br /> Draft Subarea Plan June 2009 <br /> Everett Marshland 55 070346-01 <br />
