MAR-20-02 10,40 FROM.EVERETT PLANNING DEPT 10.4262678742 PACE 9/2R Revegetation: At a minimum, erosion control rovegetation is required in all cleared areas and should include herbaceous ground cover that does not interfere with establishment of native vegetation. If long-term rovegetation is required, it should be accomplished during the next most favorable time of year for the particular vegetation to ensure the highest level of success. (Note: If revcgetation does not occur immediately following recontouring of the site, adequate crusion control measures must be taken.) Native species compatible with preconstruction vegetation patterns shalt be used for rovegetation. Degraded emergent sites, such as Reed canary grass fields, shall be replanted with species that are representative of a higher quality emergent, scrub -shrub or forested wetland. if revegetation is required, monitoring should occur once a year for a minimum of two years. (SEPA Water, Plant and Animal, and Land and Shoreline Usn Policies) 2. Pre -construction conferences must be held with the Planning Department, Public Worirs /C inspector and site development manager on sites containing environmentally sensitive areas in order to ensure that all development standards are understood. (SEPA Water, Plant and Animal, and Land and Shoreline Use Policies) 3. In conjunction with issuance of development permits for a site, a permanent fence must be constructed along the entire edge of any environmentally sensitive area buffer. The design of the fence must be split rail, or an alternative approved by the Planning Department prior to 1--rL issuance of permits. ESA signs should be placed at approximately 50-foot intervals along the fence. Sights are available from the Planning and Community Development Department. (Chapter 37 of the Zoning Code and SEPA Water, Plant and Animal, and Land and Shoreline Use Policies) Prior to initiation of construction, a biologist or wetland/stream expert must inspect construction fencing along environmentally sensitive areas buffers/constnution limits to ensure that fencing is located properly. The biologist/expert should inspect the site occasionally during construction, and shall have authority to impose a stop work order immediately if the biologist/expert determines that work activities violate buffer and setback requirements (SEPA Plant and Animal, Water, and Land and Shoreline Use Policies) 4.3.2 Mitigating Impacts of Development on Vegetation and Wildlife No removal of vegetation is permitted in environmentally sensitive areas and their buffers, including wildlife corridors, except as approved by the Planning Director to eliminate hazardous trees, :.11ow construction and maintenance of utilities, and/or provide access to properties. Any cleared areas shall be replanted with native vegetation. In wildlife corridors, the intent of plantings shall be to establish coniferous forest where feasible, except that utility corridors shall be established with native shrubs and groundcover.
