/ ADDENDUM NOTICE OF FINAL MITIGATED DETERMINATION OF NONSIGNIFICANCE SEPA A�06•013 Chase Warehouse July 18, 2007 Description of Original Proposal: The proposed project includes the construction of an 8,524 square foot building encompassing 3,045 square feet of office space and 5,479 square feet of warehouse space, including seven (7) loading docks and twe��:y-one (21) parking stalls. The project site is located at 100'" Sirzet SW and 23i°Avenue, and includes two (2) half acres parcels. There are two (2)wetlands on the site (Wetlands A and B) and their associated buffers. The proposed project will impact approximately 2,916 square feet of buffer area and approximately fiHy (50) square feet of wetland area. The applicant shall be required to provide mitigation in accordance with Sectien 19.37.050(A)7 of the Everett M;�nicipal Code. NOTE: The site plan dated March 10, 2006 shows a fifty (50) foot buffer. The required wetland buffer for ::ategory III wetlands with habitat functions less than twenh• '20) is 60 feet, not the fifty (50) feet shown on the site plan (Please see Memorandum fro�.� Mary Cunningham dated August 8, 2006). Staff recommends that t'he appiicant consider off- site mitigation as a viable alternative for complying with the City's ESA Ordinance or revising the site plan to show a sixty (60�foot buHer. Project Impacts and Proposed Conceptual Mitigation The proposed project consists of a small warehouse/office building and site access and parking area de�elopment. Due to site constraints and needed size of the Business Park use, and parking requirements, no suitable on-site mitigation could be located. Therefore, offsite mitigation for the complete filling of the two Category III wetlands is being proposed m this addendum. A nearby off-site mitigation site was located, but was not suitable to provide a 6:1 enhancement mitigation ratio as required by EMC 19.37.120(C)(5). This site was not suitable for wetland creation. EMC 19.37.050(A)(7) exempts ce�tain small wetlands from mitigation sequencing (avoidance, minimization, restoration, etc.) normally required by the Code. The requirements for the exemption are: a. Category I, II, �II and IV wetlands less than 1,000 square feet in area that are non- riparian, not part of a wetland mosaic, and noi designated a Priority Habitat by the Washington Oepartment of Fish and Wildlife; and b. Category II and IV wetlands between 1,000 and 4,000 square feet in area that meet the above stipulations and in addition score less than 20 habitat points by the Western Washington Rating System. Wetland A is less than 1,000 square feet and meets both a) and b) above, and Wetland B is 3,610 (including on and off-site portions) square feet and meets b) above. Therefore the proposed development activities are allowed, exempt from the normal hierarchy of mitigation sequencing. Mitigation for the impacts is still required, per EMC 19.37.050(A)(7). ��3
