Environmental Checklist Attachment <br /> I. BACKGROUND <br /> 6. Proposed are 150 condominiums of two to three stories <br /> � with associated parking stalls , driveways , recrea- <br /> tional facilities , and landscaping. <br /> 7. The site is near the eastern and northern shore of <br /> Lake Beverly some 200 feet west of Evergreen Way and <br /> 600 feet south of Madison Street. The approximately <br /> 10 acre site contains upland slopes , a marshy depres- <br /> ' sion and the northeast corner cf Beverly Lake . It <br /> ��as logged in the past few montns .and a small house <br /> in the center of the site recently curned � <br /> II. ENVIROt119ENTAL IAIPAC'PS <br /> 1. Site would be graded ar:c? some marshy areas may be <br /> dredged; minor excavation for fo'otings and foundations <br /> would occur. <br /> 2 . A "worst-case" roug}i projection indicates tha: peak <br /> huur traffic ( 225 V.T. ) generated by the site would <br /> cause concentrations o� carbon monoxide to rise by <br /> 1. 58 ppm. (assumes 50 F. , 50'k cold starts , 10$ <br /> hot starts) . <br /> 3. Impermeable surfaces - ^oofs , parking l.ots - will de- <br /> crease absorption rates , increase runoff and alter <br /> the quality and quantity of water in Beverly Lake . <br /> A storm water drainage control system will mitigate <br /> the affects upon both the quality and quantity of <br /> water in the lake. Dredging the marsh on the east <br /> end of the lake may mitigate the occasional floo3ing <br /> around the shoreline. <br /> 4 . Much of the local flora would be eliminated (60-75$) . <br /> Landscaping with domesticated grasses and shr�ibs will <br /> replace some of the naturaJ flora. Trees an' vegeta- <br /> tion natural to the site �:ill be retained wherever <br /> possible. • <br /> 5. Much of the existing habitat for wildlife would be <br /> replaced by buildings and parking surfaces . 'Lhir <br /> will reduce both the number and diversity fauna at <br /> the site. <br /> 6. Noise levels would increase temporarily because of <br />' - construction and permanently because of increases in <br /> traffic , and noises common to residential areas. <br /> Noise from existing traffic on Evergreen Way will <br /> ma�k the latter to some extent. <br /> 8 . The proposed development doesn' t require a rezone ; <br /> however, the undeveloped nature of the site will be <br /> changed. Nearby residents have used the area for <br /> various informal recreational activities in the past. <br /> The site seems within the area flanking Madison which <br /> the Everett Communitv Plan indicates could acconodate <br /> increased reside-'— ntial densities (Halprin and Associ- <br /> ates , p. 116 par. 29 ) • <br />
