22. The internal street within the subdivision will be a dedicated public right-of-way with a 28 foot paved way. The Applicant wil! make all improvements, including pedestrian curbs, gutters, and sidewalks. A dedication of a 45 foot wide road for internal circulation must be made to the City of Everett by the Applicant. (Witcher testimony) 23. The proposal is not in a significant flood plain. Flood plain requirements do not apply. (Exhibit #1) 24. In addition to the preliminary plat, the Applicant seeks a Planned Residential Development. EMC 19, Chapter 32, sets forth the requirements for PRD's within the City. (Exhibit #1) 25. Direct access to the site can be accomplished without creating unacceptable volumes or a change of character of traffic along local streets and adjacent neighborhoods. In light of the traffic improvements to be made from mitigation fees, the road improvements of 2nd Avenue West, and the internal road improvements within the plat, the traffic access to the site will not create impacts. (Exhibit#1, Witcher testimony) 26. The site is located near sanitary sewers, water lines, storm and surface drainage systems, and other utility systems that can handle the increased use. There will be no requirement for enlargement of any of these utilities. (Exhibit #1, Witcher testimony) 27. The type of dwelling structures in the proposed development will be similar to that in adjoining properties. (Exhibit#1, Wood testimony) 28. The subject property is currently located in an R-3 zone. Single-family detached structures are permitted in this zone with a minimum lot width of 50 feet, a minimum lot depth of 80 feet, building setbacks of 20 feet for the front and rear, and 5 feet for the side yard. The proposed lots are approximately 4,400 square feet, and the lot and setback requirements of the R-3 zone will be reduced. However, the PRD overlay and its design standards can be developed without impact to other properties. (Exhibit #1, Wood testimony) 29. A density increase of the current zoning requirement is reasonable because the Everett General Plan projects the subject property to be developed at a much higher density than as proposed. The development density standards are satisfied. (Wood testimony) 30. The Applicant proposed landscaping which will provide a uniform streetscape and landscape entryway. In addition, the dwellings will be landscaped consistent with other properties in the area. (Exhibit #1, Wood testimony) 5
