Any vees that are hazardous(i.e., are diseased, dama,ed or Icaning and are likely to fall on devclopment)must be remo��ed prior ta issuance of accupancy pemiits, and preferably, prior to construction o(structures on the site. Where they would not create a h�zard, the trunks of these trecs must be Icft for snaos. Por each tree cut, three coniferous vees must be planted unless the Planning Director determines that sufficient natural conifzrous reveeetation is occurring in the arca. liowever, for ench vee left as a snag,one coniferous tree must be planted.

A variety of native species c�n be planted�o increase local diversiry nnd provide attractive wildlife habitat whiie - countering erosion. The use of native plants can also improve water qualip�by minimizing the use of fertilizers, herbicides, mid pesrcides. N'ater use efticiency is another advantage of landscaping with native plants. Reduced irrieation means redaced likelihood of erosion, silt�tion,and landsliding resulting From the development, rcduced impacu m local hydrology, reduced maintenance costs, and enhanced water availability for otlicr consumptivc uses. All plantings in environmentally sensitive areas and dieir buffzrs and in transition areas in SW Everett shall be native specics and h�brid natives, includine landscaping required by Chapter 35 of the Zoning Code(perimeter landscaping, lundscaping of the parkinc lot, �nd interior landscapine).
