and structural fill,the following mitigation measures, based on the recommendations of the Applicant's Geotechnical Engineering Report dated March 31, 1998, must be adhered to: • A representative from the Applicant's soils engineering firm shall be present during all major phases of construction, including earth work/site preparation, retaining wall and drainage control implementation; placement of structural fill, foundation excavation; and paving. Any inconsistencies with approved plans or problems during construction shall be reported promptly to the Public Works and/or Building Inspector. (SEPA Earth, Water Policies) • The project shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the recommendations of the Geotechnical Engineering Services Report dated March 31, 1998. (SEPA Earth, Water Policies) 4. A pre-construction meeting between City staff, inspectors, soils engineer, wetland biologist and contractor shall take place prior to commencement of construction. The location of clearing/grading limits shall be field verified through the use of construction fencing or other appropriate means. (SEPA Earth, Water Policies) 5. Construction staging areas must be located outside of environmentally sensitive areas and their buffers. The steep slopes,buffers, staging areas and construction limits shall be clearly shown on construction plans (SEPA Earth, Water Policies). 6. Prior to initiation of construction,the wetland biologist must inspect construction fencing/flagging along wetland buffers/construction limits to ensure that fencing is located properly. The biologist should inspect the site occasionally during construction, and shall have authority to stop site work immediately if the biologist determines that work activities violate buffer and setback requirements (SEPA Earth, Plants and Animals Policies). 7. The public trail must be located in disturbed areas where feasible and shall minimize disturbance to existing vegetation. Prior to construction of the trail, the proposed location must be marked in the field and approved by the Planning Department. All disturbed vegetation along the edge of the trail shall be replaced. (SEPA Plant and Animal, Water, and Land and Shoreline Use Policies) 8. Prior to building construction,the Applicant shall provide a hazardous tree study to determine which trees could pose a safety risk to proposed buildings/improvements. Trees removed from the buffer shall be replaced at a ratio of 3:1 unless the tree can be snagged or used as a nursery log (while still eliminating the hazard), in which case the replacement ratio shall be 2:1. Trees should be snagged at a minimum height of 10 feet to provide wildlife habitat. (SEPA Plant and Animal Policies) 9. Clearing of the upland portions of the site and removal of the hazardous trees in the buffers will result in increased sunlight in the remaining buffers and allow for growth of shrubs and groundcover. Where buffers are lacking groundcover,plantings of ground cover must also be 11
