2. Prc-construction conferences must be held with me Planning Department, Public Works Inspector and site development manager on sites containing em�ironmentally sensitive areas in order ta ensure that all ucvclopmect standards are understood.(SEPA Wacer, Plant and Animal,and Lanc and Snoretine Use Policies) 3. On sites where environmenta!ly sensitive area and�'or buffer mi�igation is required,a rcport must be submi'ted by the wetla�d/stream/wildlife expert stating that the construction was completed per plans prior to issuanc�of occupancy pennits. (SEPA Plant and Animal, Water, and I.and and Shoreline Use Policies) 4. All mitigation plans shall include the provision of adequate topsoils in areas where pluntings will occuc (SEPA Plant and Animal, Water, and Land nnd Shoreline Usc Policies) 5. Temporary �3-year minimum) irrigution systems are required for all plantin�s in buffers, unless waived by ihc Plunning Dimctor. (SL'PA 1Vatcr, Plant and Animal and Land aud Shoreline Use Policies) G. In conjunction with issuance of developmr..�!permits f'or a site, a permanent fence must be constructed along the entire edge of any environmcntaUy scnsitive arca buf'fer. Tl�e design of the fence must be split rail,ar an alternauve approved by the P;anning Departmcnt prior io issuance of permits. ESA signs should be placed at approximately 50 foot intervals along the Cence. Signs are available Gom the Planning and Community Development Department. 77ie Ci[y may require that environmentally sensitive areas oe placed in separate tracts and designatzd as sensitive hnbitat with listed restrictians on the approval/final plans. (Chapter 37 of the Zoning Code and SEPA Water, Plant and Animal, and Land and Shoreline Uac Policies) 4.3? p7itigating Impacts of Uevelopment on Vegctation and R'ildliCe I. No removal o(vagetation is pennitted in environmentally sensitive areas and their buffers, includir�g wildlife corridors, escept as approved by the Planning Director to eliminate hazardous trees, allow construction and maintenance o(ulilities, and/or provide aceess to propertics. Any cleared areas shall be replanred with native aegctation. In�vildlife corridors,the intent oPplantings shall be to establish coniferous forest where feasible. escept that utiliry corridors shall be established with native shrubs and groundcovee (SEPA Plant and Animal �md Land and Shorelinc Usc Volicics) 2. 14'here devclopment occurs adjacent to environmentally sensitive areas, an analysis of ha�ardous trces in the environmentally sensitive area must be completed by a professio,ial arborist. Any trees that are hazardous(i.e., arc diseascd, da:naged or Icaning and are likely[o fall on devclopmcnQ must bc removed prior to issuance of occupuncy pemiits, and preCerably,prior to construction of strucmres on the site. Where they would not create a hazard, the tnmks of�hese trees must be left for snags. Por each tree cut, three coniferous trees must be planted imless the Pfanning Director determines tha[sufficient namral coniferaus re��eeetation is ocwrring in the area. Fio�vever, for each tree Iefl as a sn�e,one coniferous tree must be planted. The arborist must submit a trer removal and replacement plan to the Pl.mning Depanment and mark in the field all uces to be removed. 'I'he Planning Uepartment must appruve the tree removal and replacement plan prior to any activiry in the ci»i;onmentally sensitive arca. Large�voody debris should be retained wherc it would not create a hazard,such as causin�l flooding due to alteration of Ihe na[ur.d hydrologr oCa stre�m sysrem. (SEPA Plant and Animal Policies) 3. A ��aricty oCnative species c�n be planted to increase local diversiry and provide attractive ��ildlife habitat while countering erosion. The use of native plants can ulso improvc��mter qualih� by minimizing the use oF fcrtilizers, herbicides, and pesticides. 1Vater use efficiency is another advantage of landscapin��ith na[ive plants. Reduced irrigation me;ms mduced IikeliL•ood of erosion,siltation, and landsliding resulting from the develooment, reduced impac[s to local hydrology, reduced maintenance cos�, and enhanced water availability for other consumpiive uses. ;111 plantings in environmentally sensitive areas and their bu�fers and in transition areas in S W Everett shall be native specics and hybrid natives, including landscaping requircd by Chapter 35 of the Zuniug Code(perimerer landscaping, landscaping of tiv parking lot, ;md interior landscapine).
