Introduction <br /> Key features of the subarea plan include: <br /> • Relocating the Marshland Flood Control Pump Station to the southern boundary of <br /> the subarea and providing fish passage into and out of the Marshland Canal if feasible. <br /> • Reorienting the Marshland Canal so that it flows into the Snohomish River at the <br /> southeastern corner of the subarea if feasible. <br /> • Creating two large tidally-influenced wetland areas that will connect to the <br /> Snohomish River through connections through the Lowell-Snohomish River Road. <br /> • Restoring Wood Creek and allowing it to outlet into the southern tidally-influenced <br /> wetland area. <br /> • Restoring multiple non-tidal freshwater wetland areas. <br /> • Continuing ongoing agriculture in traditionally farmed pockets between and near <br /> habitat restoration areas. <br /> • Providing an area for passive recreation in an approximately 500-foot-wide-strip <br /> bordering Lowell-Larimer Road. This passive recreation area would provide for <br /> small- to medium-sized parking areas along the roadside and large lawn areas for <br /> multipurpose informal activities. <br /> • Establishing a recreational trail system in and around the passive recreation and <br /> restored areas. <br /> • Excluding properties from restoration where property owners do not wish to have <br /> their properties included in restoration actions. <br /> • Allowing residential uses in the Rural Flood Fringe District along Larimer Road <br /> where property owners can meet the requirements of floodplain development <br /> regulations. <br /> • Protecting existing regional utility corridors and ensuring no interruptions in regional <br /> utility service. <br /> • Establishing a policy foundation to complete appropriate studies of the feasibility and <br /> potential impacts of restoration activities prior to implementation. <br /> • Preserving or improving flood control and drainage in areas outside restoration areas. <br /> A summary of the existing and proposed land use types in the subarea is shown in Table 1-1 <br /> and the proposed land use types are shown in Figure 1-1. <br /> Draft Subarea Plan June 2009 <br /> Everett Marshland 2 070346-01 <br />
