Beverl.y Lake is classified as a Category III wetland. Section 37 of the Everett Zoninq Code req�ires a 50 foot buffer area of nati�.e vegetation to be left undl.sturbed around all Category LII wetlands. On a recent field investigation of the site, it became clear that some fill materialg (i.e. qravel and pos�ibly some dirt) have been placed within what wa� left of a buffer area eround the apartment office, all the way to the edge of the shoreline. Similar fill appears to have occurred on the edge ef an existing parking area on the east side of the office, directly next to the shoreline. Both of these area, are being uF�d as informal parkinq spaces, and are thc subject of your current paving permit application. The placement of fill in the areas described above is in vi�lr�tion of Sectian ]7 of the Everett Loning Cole. No new alteration of this property including fill, paving, or parking of vehicles is permitted to take place within tt�e shoreline buffer area. To resolve this viulation, you are required to remove all gravel fill materi.al within the 50 foot buffer area, measured from the hiqh water mark of the shoreline e9ge. A 25 foot wide strip (parallel to the lake edge) must be replanted in native veqetation including willows (Facific and Sitka), doqwood, salmonberry, cedar and hemlock. Oregon qrape, Douglas fir, and snowberry may be used to plant in the higher areas of the buffer. Be�ause the shoreline was previously modified during construction of the apartments and beinq used as open space, the remaining 25 feet of the buffe� may be planted in lawn for use as open space for the tenants, provided that no fertilizers or pestici�ts be used on it, which would compromise lake water quality.
