NOTICE OF FINAL MITIGATED DETERMINATION OF NON-SIGNIFICAR�CE SEPA 06-023 Hester Townhomes 9406 18�h Avenue West July 24, 2006 Description of Proposal: The proposed action is for the issuance of Building and Public Works Permits for the construction of eight (8) single-family detached townhouses, sixteen (16) on-site parking spaces, private ar�d common open-space, on-site recreational facilities and landscaping. The site is located at 9406 18�h Avenue West, Everett, Washington. One (1) Category I wetland was identified on the subject site which is located along the east property boundary and continues off-site. This wetland is associated with a stream found off-sitz to the west of Swamp Creek. Under'.he previous City of Everett Environmentally Sensitive Area Regulations (Ef�lC Chapter 37.090) Planning Department Siaff has classified the on-site wetland as a Category I wetland because of its association with the Kasch Park Bog and the associated stream as a Category III stream. Based upon the City's Environmentally Sensitive Regulations (EMC 37.100) Category I wetlands require a 100-fooi buffer and Category III streams require a 25-foot buffer. There are no direct wetland or stream impacts which are proposed as part of this development. The applicant is proposing a fifty (50) percent reduction of the standard 100-foot buffer which is associated with the on-site Category I wetland. The reduced buffer will be enhanced with a diversity of native trees and shrubs as required mitigation in accordance with Section 37 of the City's ESA Ordinance. The applicant is aiso proposing to dedicate a contiguous lot as an environmentally sensitive tract and no clearing, grading or development will occur in this ESA tract in perpetuity. NOTE: This project is vested under the ESA Ordinance (#1838.91) which was adopted in 1992. The applicant is also requesting a modification of the required twenty (20) foot building setback along 18�h Avenue West and ten (10) foot building separation requirement in an effort to avoid and/or minimize wetland, stream and buffer impacts on the subject site.
