Ths aut�ject propsrty is loceted aS the north east comer of Broadway and Mountain Vi�w Lane in the C-1 zone, General Commercisl. Tha applicant proposes to conatrud a 3,900 square foot buildinp for utiliry trailer sales. Ttailer sales are required to have landscapinp ir,stallad on the sRe per Catepory B landscape standards of the City of Everett 2oninp Code. landscape Catepory B requiros Type II landacapinp along Interatate-5. Type II landscapinp requirea a minimum of on� troe �_: every 20 taet of lenpth of which 70% of ths troes must bs evarpreen and five ahrubs for evary 100 square feet of landscape aroa. The trees muat be a minimum heipht of six feet �nd the shrubs a minimur.+ heipht of two feet. Trie landscap� plan proposet to place four of the required troes alonp the south propsrty lins rather than abng the eaat property lins. Reducing the amount of treea alonp the freeway(east property line) is in dired conflict with ths requirement of the zonin9 code to create a viaual separatlon belween the freeways and adjoining properties. The landscapinp along tha south property line can be moved onto Mountain View Lane since Mountain View Lane is unimproved right-of-way. The trees may be placed no further than ten feet frc>m the south property line so as to avoid damage to the se�ver line. The applicant may appeal the Pianninp Diredors decision w�thin 14 days of the data of this letter. Appeal (ortna are available from the Planning Department and must be submilted along with the required filing fee. Please call Steve Ingalsbe at 259-9731 if you have any questions. PAUL A.
