A suitable guarantee for completion of the buffer enhancement plantings must be filed with the City if the plantings are not installed prior to issuance of building permits. • Prior to issuance of permits the Environmentally Sensitive Area buffer shall be fenced and posted per the approved site plan and an Environmentally Sensitive Area Covenant recorded with the Snohomish County Auditors Office.

It consists of a maintained yard area that is covered with lawn to the edge of the slope area.
