PLANNIAG DIRECTOR DETERMINATION Review Process I # 04-007 ESA #04-007 March 30, 2004 The City of E��erett Planning Director grants approval of a request by Craig Morrison (CMI Home Builders Inc.) to reduce the standard 75-foot wirle wetland buffer to 60 feet on a portion of the property located at 9421 —1 fi�h �,venue W. with the following conditions: The buffer reduction is only approved for ihe southeast corner of the subject site where a garage is being proposed, as shown on the site plan on file wiih the City dated March 26, 2004. A garage currently exists on site, however it is being relocated further north on site to correct a boundary encroachment with the property owner to the south. Any future development will need to be evaluated independently of this approval. This may require additional wetland studies, and compliance with more restrictive code regulations. • The proposed garage construction must meet all other zoning code requirements including height restrictions and setbacks. Subser.tion 37.100.D of the Ci?y of Everett Zoning Code grants the Planning Director the authority to reduce the 75-foot buffer from a Category II wetland by up to 50% when there has been substantial legal alteration of che wetland's �uffer and the remaining buffer :s enhanced sufficiently to improve thie functional value of the buffer. The Planning Director approved the reduced buffer based upon the following: • The buffer has previously been altered prior to 1990. The buffer consists of garage, swimming pool, lawn, and ornamental landscaping. The garage ��as built approximately fifteen years ago, prior to the property being located within the City of Everett city limits. The buffer will not be impacted any more than it already has. The Planning Director's determination may be appealed. Any such appeal must be filed within fourteen calendar days of the date specified below. Appeal forms are available trom the Planning Department and must be submitted along with the required filing fee.
