7. all utilities and access roads cr driveways to and within the site be located so as to require the minimum amount of modification to slopes, vegetation or geologically hazardous areas. CONCLUSIONS: The following general conclusions are based upon the findings of the geotechnical engineering report by Zipper Zeman Associates, Inc. dated February 27, 2002: The proposed development is not anticipated to adversely impact the surrounding areas if the recommendations of the geotechnical report are followed. 2. The report contains a section related to site conditions for the subject property. A description of the surface conditions as well as subsurface conditions is provided. Detailed soils cross sections of the subsurface explorations found on the site are also provided. The report concludes that based upon the site analysis, the proposal is feasible from a geotechnical perspective. However, the presence of low density fill and native soils, and the proximity of the dwelling to the slope. extending toward Belvedere Lane will necessitate the use of extended foundations in order to reduce the potential for foundation settlement , as well as foundation displacement in the event of a landslide. 3. Specific recommendations are given in the report related to the construction to occur on the site including foundations for the residence and deck footings. The report states that provided the recommendations for foundation construction presented in the report are followed during construction, the proposed dwelling and deck additions within the 25 foot steep slope buffer will not decrease the stability of the slope or have an adverse effect on the slope. 4. The report provides recommendations to minimize disruption during construction activities on the site. Some of these measures include stripping of existing vegetation only occur within the construction limits; the use of straw bale barriers or coir logs and the use of plastic sheeting. 5. The proposal will be consistent with the purpose and provisions of the City of Everett's Zoning Code if the applicant complies with the recommendations of the geotechnical report and all other conditions of approval. 6. There should be no adverse impacts if all of the recommendations of the geotechnical report are followed. 7. The site is accessed by way of an existing improved public street (Harbor Lane), and has an existing driveway and existing utililities that serve the dwelling. The applicant may appeal the Planning Director's decision within 14 days of the date of this letter. Appeal forms are available from the Planning Department and must be submitted along with the required filinq fee. Please call Michael Palacios at 257-8731 if you have any questions.
