14. The existing R-3 zone requires minimum 5,000 square foot lots. The R-3(PRD) zone, as proposed, will have smaller lots than R-3 area standards and will have at least one multiple-family duplex lot. All of the single-family lots will be less than 3,800 square feet, and the duplex lot, lot #4, will be approximately 5,400 square feet. With these reduced sized lots, the proposal will be consistent with the PRD overlay zone. (Exhibit #1 , Wood testimony) 15. The site is flat with small depressions. The soil type is Alderwood Series, and there are deciduous and evergreen trees and native grasses on-site. There is a Class IV wetland immediately south of the subject property. The buffer to the wetland, 100 feet, extends into the subject property. The Applicant will be required to mitigate all impacts to the wetlands and buffers. (Exhibit#1, Wood testimony) 16. The internal access road of the subject property will extend partially into the wetland buffer. As a result, the Applicant will be required to provide mitigation for the 832 square feet of encroachment within the buffer. (Exhibit #1) 17. The storm drainage of the site will ultimately flow into a detention system on Tract 999, located near the eastern boundary of the subject property. The Public Works Department of the City of Everett indicated that the drainage impacts will be mitigated, and the site can be properly controlled from drainage damage. (Exhibit #1, Witcher testimony) 18. Each lot within the proposed subdivision will have a minimum rear yard area of at least 500 square feet. The City has stated this is adequate for open space within the subdivision. (Exhibit #1 , Wood testimony) 19. The proposed subdivision is located in the Mukilteo School District. As part of SEPA identified impacts of school overcrowding, the Applicant and the school district will enter into a mitigation agreement. The school district and the Applicant have entered into a voluntary mitigation agreement. (Exhibits #1, #7) 20. Sewer and water are available to the site. The sewer and water will be connected to mains that are located in adjoining streets. (Witcher testimony) 21 . The proposed project will generate approximately 120 vehicular trips per day. This increase in traffic will impact streets, intersections, and road improvements in the general area. The Public Works Department determined that the total impact from the development of the site will result in impacts that can be mitigated with a $9,200 payment as part of street improvements in the area. Pursuant to the City's interim mitigation ordinance, the City is requiring the Applicant to pay a mitigation fee of $9,200. The Applicant will also be required to make half-street improvements on 2nd Avenue West where it fronts the subject property. The 2nd Avenue West improvements shall include curbs, gutters, and sidewalks. (Witcher testimony) 4
