, ,, � � - PLANNING DIRECTOR DECISION • REVIEW PROCESS I#7-98 April 14, 1998 The City of Everett Plannfng Director grants approval of a request by John Kvenmo, 16212 Bothell Way SE#325, Mfll Creek, WA 98012 to construct a prtvate access dHve on a steep slope area with two single family restdences at 4308 8 4315 Crescent Avenuo with the following conditions: • Full compliance with the recommendations of the geotechnical study by Alpha Engineering/George Gergis, dated January 15, 1998 and subsequent addendum dated February 5, 1998 is required. Work shall be done under the supervision and inspection of Alpha Enoineering/George Gergis. The access driveway will be placed on a slope of ovar 40%. Subsection 37.040.D of the City of Everett Zoning Code designates slopes of 40% or greater as an environmentally sensitive feature. Subsection 37.080.6 requires a 25 foot buffer from the top of the slope. Subsection 37.080.0 allows the Planning Director to authorize the alteration of a slope if he/she approves a geotechnical report which demonstrates that: 1. the proposed development will not create a hazard to the subject property, surrounding properties or rights-of-way, erosion or sedimentation to off-site properties or bodies of water, and 2. the proposal addresses the existing geological constraints of the site, including an assessment of soils and hydrology; and 3. the proposed method of construction will reduce erosion potential, Iandslide and seismic hazard potential, and will improve or not adversely affect the stability of slopes; and 4. the proposal uses construction techniques which minimize disruption of existing topography and natural vegetation; and 5. the prnposal is consistent with the purposes and provisions of this Ordinance; and 6. the proposal mitigates all impacts ide�.��ied in the geotechnical report; and 7. all utilities and access roads or driveways to and within the site be located so as to require the minimum amount of mcdification to slopes, vegetation or geologically hazardous areas. CONCLUSIONS: The following conclusions are based upon the findings of the geotechnical report prepared by Alpha Engineering/George Gergis. 1. The proposed development will not have a negative effect on the property or its neighboring sites considering the following: a) The location of the structures are as per the geotechnical report and over slopes not to exceed 42�0 maximum.
