Lctter ro John McKenna � . Seprember 3, 1996 Page 2 ( I have reviewed the final site plan and Iandscape plan for Viking Freight in southwest Everett. The Applicant must respond to the following conditions on the Snal site plan and landscape plan•. Rooftop screening is of building appurtenances, if any are proposed, is required if tl�e appurtenance extends above the roofline in accordance with Zoning Code Section 39.040.C. The applicant may desire to seek a variance from this requirement. 2. Ten feet of Type II, See Through Buffer landscaping, is required along the noRh, south, and west property lines. Type II landscaping requires a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees, 20 feet on- center, with no more than 30% of the trees being deciduous. Also required is a mix of evergreen and deciduous shrubs, at 5 for every 100 square feet and a minimum of 24 inches tall at time of planting, as well as ground cover to achieve 90% coverage within three years. It appears that the May 31 landscaping plan provides an insufficient number of shrubs along the north and south property lines. Additional trees and stwbs are required on the west side of the development unless the Applicant requests a landscape modiScation. A landscape modification is supportable because of the amount of native vegetation on the adjoining steep sloped azea. 3. In accordance with mitigation condition Number 9, the ten feet of Type II landscaping must be located outside the fence line to serve as a buffer to the neighboring properties. 4. It is recommended that the chain link fence be relocated from the west property line to the toe-of- slope or at the edge of the development. 5. In accordance with mitigation condition No. 10, the stream corridor revegetation must be installed along the street frontage prior to issuance of Building Pertnits or a bond or set-aside letter valued at 300% of the estimated cost of materials and installation must be provided to the City prior to issuance of the Building Permits. The City recognizes that INTRACORP may be responsible for the installation of the stream corridor vegetation. A Snancial instrument from either entity will satisfy the assurance required by the City. 6. A convenient pedestrian access must be provided between the building entrance and the sidewalk. M azea must be provided for recycling bins in accordance with Zoning Code Section 39.080. It appears that the proposed trash dumpster is adequately screened. 8. Additional landscaping ar;;as must be provided in the employee/visitor parking azea. For the 50 stalls proposed a total of 875 square feet of landscaping must be provided in a manner that assures that all spaces must be no further than 50 feet from a tree. Additional planting peninsulas woulri meet this requirement.
