<br /> 3. \b'here development occurs adjacent to em�ironmentally sensiive nrens, an analysis of hazardous uees in the
<br /> environmentally sensitive azea musc be completed by a professi�nal arborist. Any trees that are hazardous(i.e.,
<br /> are diseased, damaged or leaning und are likaly to fap on dcvelopment) must be removed prior to issuance of
<br /> occupanc� permits, and preferabiy; prior ro construction of stNctures on the sita. Where chey would not create
<br /> a hazard, the trunks of these trees must be IeR for snags. For each tree cut, three coniferous ;rees must be
<br /> planted unless the Plnnning Director determines that sufficient natural coniferous revegetation is occurring in
<br /> [hr area. However, for each tree left as a snag, one coniferous tree must be planted. The arborist must submit
<br /> a cree removal and replacemen�pian to the Planning Department and mark in the field all uees to be removed.
<br /> The Planning Department must appro�'e the tree removal and replacement plan prior to any nctivity in the
<br /> em ironmentally scnsitive area. Large N'oody debris should be retained where it would not create a hazard,
<br /> such as causing flooding due to alteration of che natural hydrology of a stream system. (SEPA Plant and
<br /> Animal Policies)
<br /> 4. A variery of native specios can be planted m inctesse local diversity and provida attractive �+�ildlife habitat
<br /> ���hile countering erosion. The use of native plants can also improce n�ater quality bY minimizing the use of
<br /> fertilizers, harbicides, and pesticides, �Vater use efficieney is another advantage of landsceping with nati��e
<br /> p!ants. Reduced irrigation means reduced likelihood of erosien, siltation, and landsliding resulting from the
<br /> development, reduced impacts to local hydrology, reduced maintenance costs, and enhanced�aater availabilicy
<br /> for other ccnsumpti�'e uses.
<br /> Ali plantings in em ironmentally sensitive areas and th,:ir buffers and in transition areas in SW Everett shall be
<br /> n�tive species and hybrid natives, including IandscapinE requircd by Chapter 35 of the Zoning Code (perimeter
<br /> landscaping, landscaping ofthe parking lot, and interior i3ndscaping). The City has a goal that ii% of ne�e
<br /> landscoping in the 5ubarea be native, hybrid na[ives, or drought•tolerant, Landscape plans should show an
<br /> attempt to reach this goal unless landscaping with these species a'ill not meet the objective of the proposal (e.g.,
<br /> golf drivina range, bafl fields, etc.).
<br /> Plants with noted habitat or food value tor wildlife should be seleeted wherever possible, [nv�sive spcc'tes
<br /> shall not he planted. A list of netive recummendcd species is included in Appendix 3.4.6 of the SW
<br /> E.eretdP�ine Field 5ubnrea Plan EIS.
<br /> Where na�ive, hybrid natives and�'or drought-tolerant species are plented, permenent irrigation s}•stems shall not
<br /> be r�quired, Tempornry irrigption must l� pro�'ided for nvo years aRer planting. (SEPA Plant and Animal,
<br /> 41'ater and Public 5ervices Policies)
<br /> 5. Plantings in em�ironmentally sensiti�•e areas and their buffer must be designed to simulate Pacific NW nacive
<br /> plant communities in terms of compositiun, coverabundance, and structive. All mitigation plans shall inelude
<br /> herbs in tlte planting plan. Diversity of environmentally sensizive area buffer habitat must also be ensured
<br /> �hreueh tha plancing of lacer successional fures�ed s[ageF of vegetacion (e,g. Westem red cedar, Douglas fir, and
<br /> 11`estem hemlock)�vhe� needed and appropriate. (SEPA Piant and Animal Policies)
<br /> G. Exotic in�asive species must be convolled. English ivy (Hedera he/i.r) shall not be planted in the Subarea.
<br /> Properties mus[be maintained [o eliminate Scot's broom and othrr invasive species. (SEPA Plane and Animal
<br /> and Land and Shureline Use Policies)
