Restoration and Land Use Concepts 3 RESTORATION AND LAND USE CONCEPTS The purpose of this section is to provide information on the guiding principles, features, impacts, and feasibility of the subarea plan. 3.1 Guiding Principles The guiding principles for the subarea plan are based upon the requirements of the settlement agreement including addressing: 1. A summary of the area's restoration potential and feasibility and a listing of restoration goals and opportunities 2. Timeframes and benchmarks for achieving the restoration goals and opportunities; 3. Committed and potential funding sources 4. Anticipated improvement in the ecological functions of the areas identified by the plan for restoration 5. Shoreline master program regulations for protecting critical areas within the Marshland 6. Mechanisms and strategies to ensure implementation of the subarea plan 7. Mechanisms to review the effectiveness of the subarea plan and make changes if review reveals the subarea plan is not effectively promoting the plan's identified restoration opportunities or meeting its other goals, policies, and objectives Additional project objectives and principles were discussed during the first stakeholder meeting and presented in the EIS. These note that the subarea plan should: • Protect and restore salmon habitat • Protect and restores wildlife habitat • Protect existing agricultural uses • Identify the best uses for the more than 300 acres of city-owned property • Preserve valley views throughout the site • Consider economic impacts, including major infrastructure investments • Be technically feasible, but recognize that additional studies need to be completed to determine the final layouts and extents of restoration • Protect property owners who are not included in restoration actions from potential adverse impacts of restoration • Allow for adjacent private property owners to be fairly compensated for any impacts Draft Subarea Plan June 2009 Everett Marshland 31 070346-01
